In this clip of The Simpsons it is making a lot of fun of apple. In the clip Lisa sees a "Mapple" store in the mall and the whole family goes to check it out. The Mapple store is representing an Apple store and all through this clip they are using satire to make fun of this company. The store seems like all the products are really expensive and pretty confusing to use. At one point Lisa asks the store clerk if she can by a fake pair of headphones because she can’t afford any real products. The store clerk says yes and says they are called "Iphonies:" and cost 40 which is too much for Lisa. Another thing that happens is Homer is talking to a clerk and he asks what this product does. The clerk says "its not what the product can do for you its what you can do for the product."
In this
clip of The Simpsons we can see lots
of funny satire. This satire is basically making fun of people who buy and use
Apple products. The first example of satire is when Lisa asks the store clerk
for a fake pair of Mapple head phones called "Iphonies". The clerk says they are 40 dollars and
Lisa can’t afford them. This is making fun of how ridiculous the price of Apple
products are and how much people spend on their products. Another example of
satire is when Homer is learning about a product from Mapple. In the clip Homer
is being helped by the store clerk so he can use the product. The clerk says what can you do for the product. this is making fun of how people get so wrapped up in their technology. It is also making fun of how Apple products are so cool and intelligent that you have to do things for them.
