Emphasize

emphasize- to give special attention to something, to stress

My favorite comedian is Edwin the Emphasizer. He can say a normal, average sentence that anyone could say. But he emphasizes a certain word, which makes it hilarious. For example, the sentence was Bush was a great president. When he said it, "BUSH (pause for effect) was a great president. When he said it, the audiance saw that it was sarcasm.
