Asthma inhlers. (n.d.). Retrieved April 22, 2010 from Google Images database: http://www.motifake.com/image/demotivational-poster.

This is a picture of a villain using an inhaler from a well-known movie Star Wars. In the movie the villain does not have asthma, but he makes a loud breathing sound, which sounds as if he is having trouble breathing or having an asthma attack.
This picture is obviously coming from a comedian and is focused at fans of the series of movies, Star Wars. It is making fun of Darth Vader, the villain’s name, while also making light of asthma. I have also joked about how Darth Vader sounds like me when I am having trouble breathing.
Pathos is a main strategy in this picture. It is amusing, therefore making the viewer happy or amused. It is funny because it brings to light to what Darth Vader’s breathing sounds like. Most likely they will think of Darth Vader as having asthma whenever watching the movie from now on.
This picture makes me smile because of how amusingly true it is. People having trouble breathing due to asthma, do sound like this villain and vice versa.
