Sent up is a term used to describe a form of comedic satire. It can be done in various ways, such as spoofing, aping, and lampooning. Spoofing involves making fun of something by imitating it in an exaggerated or ridiculous way. Apeing is similar to spoofing, but instead of exaggerating the original, it simply copies it. Lampooning is a more direct form of satire, where the target is openly mocked and ridiculed. All three of these techniques are used to send up a subject, making it the focus of comedic satire.
