  1. Visual Irony

  2. Irony is… a situation in which there is an incongruity between the literal and the implied meaning Ironic statements (verbal irony)[2] are statements that imply a meaning in opposition to their literal meaning EXAMPLE: "The day was as normal as a group of seals with wings riding around on unicycles, assuming that you lived someplace where that was very normal."

  3. Visual Irony • Usually, it is the use of two or more images which do not belong together. • They are paired in order to create laughter or to make a funny statement • EXAMPLE: broccoli where the fries should be. We all know that fries are bad for you, so it is ironic that the broccoli is in place of the McDonalds frenchfies

  4. Pun • A pun is a play on words • form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words • Example: a “butterfly” is a stick of butter with wings • Catfish, brainstorm, chick magnet, time flies, raining cats and dogs, corndog, boxing ring, frog in your throat, eggplant, nun chucks, kiwi, dog house, and more!
