To satirize someone or something is to use satire on them: you hold up their faults in a sharp, often funny way so other people can see them. You can satirize a politician, a fashion, a school rule, a whole country. Newspapers and late-night shows do this. It is a bit formal; in casual talk people say make fun of, though that can be merely rude, while satirize claims a purpose. Though actually, not every joke satirizes. If there is no target and no point, it is just a joke. In Britain you will often see the spelling satirise. You satirize a person or a thing; you do not “satirize about” them.
