Satire occurs in Huck Finn specifically targeting religion. In the text it talks about a girl having no relation to moses and goes on and on saying this. At that point Twain is using satire being so explicit about how midwesterners could not be related to a biblical figure despite their extreme beliefs.

All of the stuff about the Duke and the Dauphin is satiric, as is the war between the Hatfields and the McCoys. Even some of the material about Jim.
