Hyperbole!

-the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to create a strong impression, but it not meant to be taken literally.

Brian Regan on Loitering and Manslaughter-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am5Pq1SuddQ

In this clip of one of his shows, Epitome of Hyperbole, Brian Regan over exaggerates the crime of loitering as if it should not be a crime, as if it is far to wimpy to be considered of crime status. Then he points out that the most heinous sounding crime is manslaughter. He strongly exaggerates a crimal convicted of manslaughter as a psychotic human who is always angry.
