Don't let these words scare you... they're just weird, loosely useful words to describe some oddball humor of various quality. I generally prefer the paraprosdokian over the malapropism but it each have their place in the comedic landscape. I'm not going to define them for the purposes of this post but I definitely had quite a bit of confusion when trying to recall the differences and similarities between them. Now, after all this blustering, I am realizing I don't really have a specific thesis statement I am making here... I guess I'm a bit distracted and tired. But I will leave an example of a good paraprosdokian as my feeble gift for having read through this painful rambling of incoherence and chaos. Ha.
