WELCOME TO COMEDY 101!!! YOU WILL BE TICKLED PINK!!!
COMMON LITERARY DEVICES USED IN PARODY-TYPE HUMOR
IRONY-When something is the opposite of what you would expect.
ex. When you hear the music for Gangster's Paradise, a song about gang life, and you see instead "Amish Paradise", a song about a very devout religious group who don't believe in modern conveniences. The contrast of seeing the Amish people act with gang mannerisms creates ironic humor.
SATIRE-A type of somewhat mean humor that makes fun of weaknesses and things that are rather stupid.
ex. When you hear the Weird Al version of the Nirvana song and they are making fun of the way Nirvana mumbles and doesn't seem to know the words when they sing. Also common in political cartoons.
EXAGGERATION-When something is made to be much more than it really is.
ex. When Weird Al blows up and is huge in "Fat", or the way he makes Ricky really vain and Lucy extra-whiny in "Hey Lucy".
ANACHRONISMS-Things that are in the wrong place or time, but are thrown in to make a humorous twist.
ex. Mrs. Brady and the Gilligan's Isle song in "Amish Paradise", the chain saw and other stuff in "Like a Surgeon", the sumo swimmers in "Die Hard".
USE THESE TO BEEF UP YOUR HUMOR!! JUST REMEMBER-A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. IF YOU CHANGE IT SO MUCH YOU CAN'T RECOGNIZE THE ORIGINAL, IT IS NO LONGER AS FUNNY. IT IS THE CONTRAST OF WHAT YOU ARE SEEING OR HEARING AND WHAT IT SHOULD BE THAT MAKES IT FUNNY.
