There’s a “meta” going on here, Teresa, but I can’t say what it is yet. In the meantime, “snake oil” is an accurate metaphor. I think. It might be a simile. What’s the one that is “X is like Y”? It’s a terrible burden having a public school education.
According to Scott Adams, there are 7 or so different types of humor. One-in-twenty comics needs to appeal to one of those and people will think you are funny. “Upheld by hair” is one of them, and I truly believe that. Joe Biden does too, but I’m not sure “suspended” is the same word he’d use.

“X is Y” is metaphor.
Metavore might be something that eats hipsters, but I am unsure of this one.
