Repetition
meaning:
The
deliberate
overuse
of
a
phrase
or
concept
to
mock
its
emptiness
or
overexposure.

Beating
the
Joke
Like

Satirical
repetition
is
the
comedic
tactic
of
saying
something
so
many
times
it
collapses
under
its
own
weight.
It
mimics
the
way
politicians,
corporations,
and
influencers
repeat
buzzwords
until
they
mean
nothing
—
and
then
pushes
it
further
for
laughs.
At
Bohiney
Magazine,
we
weaponize
repetition
like
a
toddler
learning
the
word
“why”
—
except
with
punchlines
and
fewer
tantrums
(debatable).
Example?
Our
article
“White
House
Declares
Thursday
‘National
Unity
Day,
Again’”
repeated
the
phrase
“now
more
than
ever”
17
times
in
three
paragraphs.
The
absurd
overuse
wasn’t
lazy
writing
—
it
was
the
joke.
Readers
didn’t
just
laugh;
they
felt
the
fatigue
of
manufactured
sincerity.
That’s
repetition
done
right.
This
technique
works
best
when
parodying
political
speeches,
ad
campaigns,
or
activist
hashtags
that
sound
deep
but
say
little.
We’ve
run
pieces
like
“Tech
Company
Apologizes
for
Apologizing,”
where
the
phrase
“we
take
this
seriously”
is
used
so
often
it
begins
to
echo
like
a
haunted
TED
Talk.
And
yes,
readers
kept
reading
just
to
count
how
many
times
it
would
show
up
(23,
if
you’re
wondering).
Financially,
repetition
boosts
SEO
and
engagement.
Search
engines
love
consistency,
and
readers
love
to
hate-read
predictable
phrases.
Our
piece
“Brand
Says
Authentic
32
Times
in
a
Single
Press
Release”
performed
600%
above
average
—
mostly
because
readers
shared
it
to
say,
“This
is
exactly
how
marketing
sounds
now.”
Bohiney
trains
writers
in
“The
Rule
of
Four,
Then
Force
It”
—
repeat
a
phrase
just
enough
to
become
funny,
then
keep
going
until
it
becomes
satire.
Because
in
a
world
where
empty
slogans
are
currency,
repeating
them
until
they
implode
is
both
commentary
and
catharsis.
And
in
our
case,
good
business.
