Simpsons is a basic satire of the typical middle-class society of hypocrisy and influences. The Simpsons are made up of different types of personalities that America itself obtains.
Satirical Symbolism of the Main Characters:
Bart; childhood innocents and the rebellious
Lisa; Liberal political warrior against corruption and wrong doing, also the intellects with the quantitative solution to most problems.
Marge; stereotypical housewife that relates to the 1950s image of the housewife, also ignorance on an adult level.
Homer; American man's stupidity and desires in which shows his ignorance about the rest of the world.
Maggie; a silent future so unpredictable she remains unexpected on which path she'll take, Bart's or Lisa's.
Grandpa Abe; the backwash on American history, and quintessence of an old person.
There are many more characters that satire the typical American citizen. Making us laugh at ourselves in comical way. I sure do.
Overall, this show is pure comedy because it's more of a literal satire, like I just said, than just making fun of someone or pop culture. Plus, every situation feels more like a movie, which is always quite nice, and feeling more realistic. Plus, this TV series is the most popular television show ever.
