High burlesque

High burlesque is a form of satire which takes a subject matter that is generally regarded as lowly or immaterial and treats it in a literary, elevated manner.

One of the most commonly cited examples of high burlesque is Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock.

The Onion, a parody newspaper in the U.S., often treats trivial, inconsequential, or personal events as important news, resulting in headlines like "loser spends entire day in bed" or "Area man doesn't know why he puts up with this shit".[citation needed]
