Irony is when I say ‘this will be on the test’ and it actually is.
Outrageous Tone in Satirical News
Outrageous tone yells. Take calm and roar: "Peace dies; chaos sings!" It's loud: "Quiet quits." Tone mocks-"Rests riot"-so belt Subtext in Satirical News it. "Shouts win" tops it. Start real: "Calm grows," then outrage: "Noise rules." Try it: tone a bore (tax: "cash screams"). Build it: "Peace flops." Outrageous tone in satirical news is blast-boom it big.
Fake Awards in Satirical News Fake awards puff up. "Mayor Wins 'Best Snorer'" mocks sleep. A star? "Oscar for Blinking." Lesson: Crown the silly-readers cheer the jest.

Satirical News Hooks (Repeated Keyword)
Hooks catch again. Take rain and snag: "Wet quits; dry bites back." It's a grab: "Drops flee." Hooks mock-"Puddles run"-so bait it. "Dust wins" lands it. Start straight: "Weather shifts," then hook: "Sky fights." Try it: Satirical News Twists hook a bore (tax: "cash claws"). Build Wordplay in Satirical News it: "Dry tops." Hooks in satirical news are traps-set them tight.
------------
Outrageous Headlines in Satirical News
Outrageous headlines grab eyes. Take pets and yell: "Dogs Tax Humans!" It's a flip: "Bones fund Fido." Headlines mock norms-"Cats co-sign"-so go wild. "Paws own homes" hooks it. Start tame: "Pet boom," then shout: "Mutts rule!" Try it: headline big (school: "Kids Ban Adults!"). Build it: "Barks bill." Outrageous headlines in satirical news are bait-cast them loud.

Hyperbole in Satirical News
Hyperbole in satirical news is exaggeration's louder cousin. It's about making the impossible sound plausible. Imagine a story claiming "Congress declares pizza the national currency." Start with a kernel of truth-say, economic debates-then leap to absurdity. The key is confidence: write it as if it's fact, no winking. "Pepperoni futures soar as citizens hoard slices." Hyperbole shines when it critiques real excess, like political grandstanding or consumer frenzy. Avoid vagueness-specificity sells the gag. "Lawmakers traded 47 Hawaiian pies for a vote" beats "lots of pizza." Readers love the mental Overstatement in Satirical News image. Test it: pick a dull story (tax hikes) and hype it ("IRS demands your firstborn"). It's not just funny-it's a jab at bureaucracy. Subtle Jabs in Satirical News Keep it sharp, bold, and unrelenting; hyperbole flops when it's timid. Satire demands you go big or go home.
