WWE Wrestling
Now, this isn't either humorous or satire, but the WWE falls into both categories.

WWE, for those not in the know, is the biggest brand in "pro-wrestling".
Now, pro-wrestling has nothing to do with the sport of wrestling, which has been around for millennia. WWE wrestling is pure fantasy, built on the back of steroid-filled monsters. Its greatest appeal is to your typical redneck Yank who drives a pickup truck with a shotgun on the dash and a pair of Colt 45s in the glovebox.
Yet, despite its fame as a home of blatant bullshit, the team at WWE have performed one of the most magnificent public services ever.
I'm not silly enough to discard the fact that it all started as just another cynical marketing ploy, but to me, the end justifies the means by many orders of magnitude.
When you get a spare 5 and half minutes today, sit back and watch in awe. With a box of tissues - this is amazing:
