In the movie, "Animal Farm," examples of verbal irony are used about communism and dictatorship. One example is the line stating that "all animals are equal but that some animals have more authority than most."
The fifth commandment in Animal Farm was that no animal should consume alcohol. The irony is that Squealer fell from the ladder because he was drunk.
