Sažetak
I will focus on the television media platform, as the most influential and the most frequently used type of media, more specific I will focus on entertainment output – a textual form which has been granted the deserved attention within the framework of cultural studies. Content that serve the "light" function of amusement of the audiences is of immense political importance, as such programming have an implicit power in the construction and deconstruction of stereotypes, and the maintenance and change of power and dominance in society. Entertainment genres with satirical elements have, at least, two aims: one is to entertain, and the other is to communicate some form of social critique. The reception of this type of content varies according to audience niches. Thus, the question is: how is this type of social critique interpreted?
