I am a big fan of the double entendre as a figure of speech: specifically, a word or phrase that has at least two different interpretations. This can induce your audience to think more deeply about what you're saying and what your words really mean, and they are often ironic or humorous – which appeals to me also, as a wannabe comedian.
