Dictionary definition: the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

It's a device used by people to communicate indirectly about something they find fault with, through humor, exaggeration, or irony
 * requires thinking because it is not obvious
 * rewards thinkers who "get" the joke or humor

Concepts that help us understand satire: tone (the writer's attitude towards the subject) wit (cleverness with words) sarcasm (use of language to hurt or make fun of a subject) verbal irony (different meaning from what is actually said) exaggeration/hyperbole (expanded truth)
