ABSTRACT
Doaa Farouk, as a media figure and a woman satirist, embarks on a journey to explore how she can create a difference by criticizing what she believes to be in need of reformation. Doaa Farouk attempts to put her ideologies forward and coat her "bold" critical comments, with regard to the varied societal anomalies in Egypt, with humour. As is clear from the analysis, the rationale behind it could be to avoid silencing, face threatening responses or undesirable consequences. Via the utilization of the General Theory of Verbal Humour (GTVH), the analysis proves the strong presence of humour in the selected articles. Ideology against some of the deeply rooted Egyptian society's drawbacks is reflected in the writer's writings. However, criticizing, or even ridiculing, the conditions in one's country often stems out of genuine love and hope for an improved future.
