Recommend satirists, especially Anglos, and recommend particular books too. So far I've noted (casting a wide net):
>Swift
>Burton
>Pope
>Sterne
>Rabelais
>Cervantes
>Shakespeare

Greco-Roman satirists also of interest, but I'm less familiar. I'm especially interested in parody of jurisprudence.

Juvenal is great and surprisingly relevant to contemporary times. Read his Satire VI as a start.

Was the plagiarism at least funny? Sterne was a plagiarist but metatextually and satirically so.

Wasn’t Chaucer at least somewhat humorous?

You're right and I'll note him in my list and you come bearing a good image but I've been conditioned to get angry whenever I see you.

Anger over such trivialities is no way to go about your day.
Shed these leprous peer pressured notions and live free of their burdens.
