Irony Irony is a mode of expression, through words (verbal irony) or events (irony of situation), conveying a reality different from and usually opposite to appearance or expectation. The surprise recognition by the audience often produces a comic effect, making irony often funny.

Irony

Hyperbole Hyperbole is deliberate exaggeration to achieve an effect; overstatement.

Caricature A caricature is an exaggeration or other distortion of an individual's prominent features or characteristics to the point of making that individual appear ridiculous. Stereotyping is a type of caricature. The term is applied more often to graphic representations than to literary ones.

Wit Wit is most commonly understood as clever expression, whether aggressive or harmless; that is, with or without derogatory intent toward someone or something in particular. We also tend to think of wit as being characterized by a mocking or paradoxical quality, evoking laughter through apt phrasing Use of wit can be expressed as a pun.

Wit

Sarcasm Sarcasm is intentional derision, generally directed at another person and intended to hurt. The term comes from a Greek word meaning “to tear flesh like dogs” and signifies a cutting remark. Sarcasm usually involves obvious, verbal irony, achieving its effect by jeeringly stating the opposite of what is meant so as to heighten the insult.

Ridicule Ridicule is the use of words intended to belittle a person or idea and arouse contemptuous laughter. The goal is to condemn or criticize by making the thing, idea, or person seem laughable and ridiculous.

Parody A parody is an imitation of an author or his/her work with the idea of ridiculing the author, his/her ideas, or the work itself. A parodist exploits the peculiarities of an author’s expression—the propensity to use too many parentheses, certain favorite words, or other elements of the author’s style.

Types of Parody Burlesque: Vulgar Treats subject with ridicule, vulgarity, distortion, and contempt “Dear companions hug and kiss, Toast old Glorious in your piss” -- Jonathan Swift on the Irish parliament

Types of Parody Mock-heroic “like a laughing child wearing a full-scale suit of majestic armor” Grand diction, lofty style Takes a trivial or repellent theme and treats it with grandeur or feigned solemnity The Onion Headline: “Loser Spends Entire Day in Bed”

Invective Invective is speech or writing that abuses, denounces, or attacks. It can be directed against a person, cause, idea, or system. It employs a heavy use of negative emotive language. For Example: “I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.” (Swift, Gulliver’s Travels)
