Farce is comedy that heavily relies on overly exaggerated, dramatic events.

Satire is comedy that heavily relies on insults and the ridiculing of people, groups, society, political groups, etc.

The difference is that farce relies on "what's happens" in the story/play and satire pinpoints specific people to ridicule.
