A SATIRICAL BIT is a humorous piece of writing or performance that is intended to ridicule or mock a person, idea, or institution. A SKETCH is a short comedic scene or story usually performed by actors or comedians. A SKIT is a short comedic play or performance that is often part of a larger show. Both sketches and skits are forms of satire, and both can be used to make a point or comment on a particular issue.
