The Simpsons was and always has been a part of American satire. They use satire in political and humorous views of the world. Usually an episode over-exaggerates on controversial topics. For example, one episode, Homer Badman, Homer and Marge goes to a candy convention. They hire a babysitter to watch the kids. Her name was Ashley. When he drives home for the night he sees Ashley outside. He sees her from behind and reluctantly picks up a gummy ‘venus’ on the back of her pants. Ashley translates the actions of Homer as a sexual advance. She also shows a campaign against anti-harassment. This episode has gotten out of hand, and also shows satirical humor as well as exaggeration throughout the episode.
