Carefully build a mental picture so the audience forms an image that is totally unrelated to the image you want them to end up with.
· Then, with the very last word, shatter that image by introducing an obvious absurdity.
Example.
Want a skyscraper?
Ask an engineer.
Need cancer removed?
Get a surgeon,
A man on the moon?
Talk to NASA.
Get real about climate change?
Listen to Tony Abbott!

He is SOOOOOO embarrassing! Annabel Crabbe hit the nail on the head with a great article today 'Freed from facts: Abbott goes ballooning' http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-22/crabb-freed-from-facts-abbott-goes-ballooning/2806640
ReplyDeleteI don't know Tony Abbott, think I don't miss him. But your title, caught my eye. And I began to think I do laugh, but not as often as when I was a child? I wonder, is it because I have grown up, and don't find so many things funny? I'm afraid my brow is creased more often than not, is it worry about the world? And maybe people like Tony Abbott?
ReplyDeleteAnnell, I am sure the US has its own 'Tony Abbotts".
