The Blanket

Some of the best youtube videos made are parody's of commercialized products. One product that is often made fun of through the use of satire is the snuggie. In the video I have linked down below the main satirical strategies used are parody and verbal irony. The main one of the two satirical devices used in the skit is parody. This is because they are promoting their new product the blanket and show all the benefits it has compared to the snuggie, The use of verbal irony mainly comes into play during comparison scenes. This can be when they are saying how confusing it is to put on the snuggie or comparing the prices of blankets. In the end they are trying to get the point across that why would you spend money on a blankets with holes when a blanket can do everything it does and more.
