Mitt Romney Dog “It Was My Choice!”

The recent controversy of Mitt Romney strapping his dog on the roof of his car shocked the nation, and negatively affected his presidential race. This post is an example of incongruency. Firstly, the dog is talking; this is something that would never happen in real life. Also, it is saying that the dog decided for himself to be put on the roof of the car. This example is funny because honesty when would there ever be a talking dog? It is also funny because of the sly comments the dog makes. 

This video is a parody of the new IPhone 4 software, Siri. It is a parody because it is imitating Siri in a way that would never happen in real life. It is personifying an inanimate object and giving Siri a mind of her own. It is funny because it is ridiculing something that we all think is supposed to work flawlessly. It is also funny because it is playing off of how advanced technology is now and how Ellen lost control of her Siri.
