#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.
