How does Ellen DeGeneres use imagery in My Point-- and I Do Have One?

Imagery:

"Well, you had a big old head, too, and not a lick of hair on it. Bless my corns, you were one ugly baby."

"I didn't know it was a party for your grandmother's 90th birthday. Otherwise, I never would have gotten her the crotchless underwear and the coupon for a free nipple piercing."
