The best satire contains an element of truth. From the google dictionary:
"Satire's foundation: The power of truth
Satire, by its very nature, relies on a strong connection to truth or reality to be effective. While it often employs humor, irony, exaggeration, and ridicule, the target of this critique is usually a real-world issue, individual, or societal flaw."
. . .
"In essence, satire's ability to be both entertaining and thought-provoking stems from its ability to use humor and exaggeration as a lens to examine and critique the truths of our world. Without that foundation in reality, satire risks becoming mere nonsense or irrelevant entertainment, failing to achieve its potential for social commentary and meaningful impact. "
