B.Ridicule
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XXpTfIgiV8I looked at the lit review’s view on ridicule and studied their example of Seinfeld’s bit on cab drivers and body odor. The author surmises, and I agree, that Seinfeld uses ridicule here to make a statement about cab drivers in general, not only certain cabs that he has been in, but all of them.On the other hand, Stewart uses ridicule to call people out who he feels have mislead or deceive people. As TDS focuses on what's in the news and current events,it is easier for him to direct ridicule as sort of a rebuttal to their views.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWuzezm1vL0 In the clip above it is important to note that when Jon Stewart ridicules the people in the clips, he makes it a point to back it up with facts and figures, another thing not found in most stand up comedy routines.C.Hyperbole
