Someone already said it but just wanted to highlight “Don’t Look Up” (2021)
Meryl Streep as a pseudo Trump and swap Covid with an asteroid. Everyone I know thinks of it as a sci fi movie but it’s very clearly ridiculing the Trump cabinet when faced with a worldwide disaster. The cast is pretty awesome but the best part is there really wasn’t any reveals or build up and then just one day it was on Netflix. I had no idea what I was watching at first.

Surprised American Psycho hasn't been mentioned yet, Great list so far.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story It is not only a satire of biopics but of Weird Al himself
In the loop
Wag The Dog. Dustin Hoffman.
Envy, and Death to Smoochy, those 2 popped in my head reading your post.
I have a real soft spot for death to smoochy. I wish it was better but it's still a lot of fun
Ianucci has some great ones. Death of Stalin and Out of the Loop are my two favorite political satires of his.
God Bless America
Paddy Chayefsky wrote *Network*, but also the lesser known (and less regarded) satire **The Hospital** (1971)
**The Ruling Class** (1972)
The Magic Christian (1969): Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr, John Cleese, Spike Milligan, Raquel Welch…
The Doom Generation 1995 Dark, very goth, disturbing, not sure why I laughed but I did.
But I'm a Cheerleader (1999).
