 * The commercial uses the technique of calling the Jimmy John's delivery guy because he would be faster then the fire department to help put out the fire. This appeals the audience to want to buy Jimmy John's when they are in a dire situation and need either the food immediately or the help. This is a hyperbole because no one is as fast as the commercials say, but it still appeals to the reader because of the hyperbolic speed.

 * The whole back ground and style of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live is a parody on the general news stations and their delivery of the news.

= __Generalization:__= A basic group of ideas, concepts, information "I think most males rarely prepare food for others, and when they do, they have their one specialty dish (spaghetti, in my case) that they prepare maybe twice a year in a very elaborate production, for which they expect to be praised as if they had developed, right there in the kitchen, a cure for heart disease" ~ Dave Barry "Lost in the Kitchen"
 * The tone of this passage is gently mocking.
 * Dave Barry uses the generalization of most of the male population as a whole by connecting it with the fact that they generally do not cook in the kitchen except for rare occasions. The reader can relate to this passage because it describes most of the male population except for the few who do not fit in with the generalization of how men work in the kitchen.

 * 
 * The understatement is portrayed as when he describes the operation as not "very serious" and as the reason a "tiny little tumor on the brain". The reader can relate to this because as they tell a person a form of big news, they generally tend to understate it to not seem like a big deal when it is. They read that technique in the passage and they relate to it by remembering an experience of when they did not want to make an issue seem large.
 * __ Distortion: __**The act of being distorted, or change in form, idea, time



~ The tone of this example is kind of angry like a belittling tone of humor, and it makes reference to the chicken crossing the road joke. ~This example shows distortion because it takes an alternative way of how we see things. You do not cross a street and suddenly see a chicken driving a car. Also, it changes the idea relating to the chicken itself- the other is yelling at the chicken to cross the road which can be related to the chicken crossing the road jokes. The reader can be able to see the situation differently and in a way relate to it especially when thinking of driving by people who are rude. [] ~ The tone of this example is a mildly caustic as it advertises Old Spice. ~This example is funny because even though this man is advertising Old Spice, he randomly goes off on a tangent of random things people do not have unless they have Old spice. It fits deviation because it tends to go off topic -talking about a boat, a shell and two tickets. The reader is often amused at this because this man is pulling things randomly around him talking off and on about silly things concluding to the point of the advertisement at the very end leaving the audience giggling a little at the ridiculous parts of the commercial. ~ The tone of this example is both comical and a little facetious because this picture is a little amusing when looking at Hugh Laurie and seeing others see his physical characteristics. ~ This example qualifies as a caricature because it depicts certain aspects in this man’s face and exaggerates them. The effect on the reader helps them to depict out characteristics of his personality. Many people may know him from the show ‘House’ and by this picture, his face is elongated and the colors are dark, his eyes are big and his hair is a little scruffy which help illustrate his sinister, unloving person in the tv show. Like: ‘poop’, ‘retard’, ‘stupid’, ‘nippy’ ~ This collection of words generally are related to anything in any matter so there is no exact tone to put towards them. However, many people generally find these words funny when perhaps mocking someone or describing something that has a sexual connotation with it. ~ These examples fit the definition of funny words because generally when hearing them, they make people laugh. They either sound funny or have a relation to something that people relate to or something that people do. And they are amusing to say. “You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?” ~The tone of this example is generally comical. Often riddles are used with comics or cute illustrations. ~ This example is appropriate when defining a riddle because a riddle is usually a statement or question written in a manner that often seems confusing, leaves the audience puzzled, and left trying to figure out what the statement is talking about. Here, the answer is an ear of corn or chicken. [] ~ The tone of this example is absolutely mocking and a little haughty. ~This is an appropriate example for bathos because in a commonplace such as the locker room, Jesus shows up to talk about football with Tebow and the Denver Broncos. In this skit, an actor plays Tebow who throughout the media has shown his love and devotion to God. The skit sort of makes fun of it in a mild way by telling Tebow to ‘tone it down a little’ and saying how Jesus was the reason for all the wins of the Broncos. In addition, it portrayed God in socks and sandals wrapped in a poor robe displaying his ‘holy body’ that Tebow willingly tries to touch and show his love for God. Ultimately for the audience, providing a humorous affect in a ridiculous kind of way showing the circumstance especially when God says to the kicker that he prays to him when people pray to God.
