    This article from the Onion is satirizing Ben Carson, and on a larger scale the GOP as a whole. The article is clearly left leaning, but the Onion produces a fair share of articles criticizing Democrats. (http://www.theonion.com/graphic/how-democrats-are-preparing-their-first-debate-51524)

    "We are the 1%" this video satirizes the wealthy 1% in america which was a widely talked about topic when the video was made. This videos doesn't lean towards any direction because it makes fun of both the 99% for what they complained about and the 1% for their regular antics.

    Jason Sudeikis is a comedic actor who was hired to promote the arrival of British Premier League (BPL) on NBC Sports in a funny and satirical way. The hilarious satire comes into play when he cannot differentiate between American Football (NFL) and European Football (soccer) and tries to apply the rules from one sport to the other. The best example is the inability to use hands in soccer while NFL is all about using your hands to throw, catch and block.

    If you like this video there is a part two (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRqypM7jb5Y)

    This Onion article satirizes and mocks how Jeb Bush has fallen from grace in the polls to the point where he cannot even be seen on the podium during debates. It is making him seem like a ghost that is vanishing out of the election.
