Deadpan Humor - humor that is delivered without changing expression ir with no expression at all. An example od Deadpan Humor would be the "Zombie Kid Likes Turtles" video on youtube, starring a young boy who delivers the line "I like turtles" in a deadpan manner while being interviewed by a news reporter.

Malapropism - Substitution of a word for another word with a similar sound that doesn't make sense. An example of Malapropism would be a quote by George W. Bush, which was "we cannot let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile."

Reversal - Reversal of Roles. An example of Reversal would be the movie "White Chicks," where 2 african-american men act as 2 white women for undercover police purposes.

Visual Satire - Satire expressed through political cartoons.

My name is Dallas Ford. Before you ask after reading this, no I was not named after the Dallas cowboys and or the city of Dallas, my last name has nothing to do with the car company, and I am in no relation to Henry ford. I am a junior at Anderson high school. I play soccer for Anderson (unfortunately) and I play club for Kings soccer academy. My favorite music is everything except for country or jazz. I would throw myself off the roof of this high school before i was forced to listen to country. My favorite TV shows are things like south park, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Two and a half Men, the Simpsons, the King of Queens, and Seinfeld. Some of my favorite movies are "Dumb and Dumber," "Anchorman," "Zoolander," "Coach Carter," and "Remember the Titans." On my free time I like to play soccer with friends, play video games like FIFA 10 and Modern Warefare 2, and drive wherever.I drive a 05 Ford Escape. Thats basically me in a nutshell i guess. Have a good one.
