Malapropisms and Puns

Malapropism  - This is better known as the mistaken use of a word in place of a similar - sounding one, often with unintentionally amusing effect.

• For example: A picture of two dogs and one dog says to the other: " After we go to the drugstore and the post office, I'm going to the vets to get tutored!"

Pun - A joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings.

• For example: I'm glad I know sign-language, it's pretty handy.

• This video shows President George W. Bush using malapropism by accidentally slipping up on various speeches that he gave over the years. These slips have a comical effect on the public, but they still understand what point he was trying to get across.

This video is about Miley Cyrus' s new song "We Can't Stop". It is making fun of her and how she has changed lately. It is very funny and very true.

Hyperbole

Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration used to prove a point. It can highlight certain aspects that the author wishes to be noticeable about the subject being observed.

This video displays the use of hyperboles by displaying how addicting Facebook can be. It uses exaggerated habits to demonstrate the affects of too much social networking. The teen of this video is so obsessed with Facebook that she begins to apply actions done in Facebook to real life. Through these excessive displays, it shows how Facebook can come to control one's life and puzzle the people around oneself.
