The clip from the movie, Shrek, deviates itself from the typical formula of a fairytale by showing that the woman is able to save herself in a situation. Fiona did not need Shrek's help to keep the men away.
Exaggeration: The man dance and sing to Fiona and saves herself my using all sorts of self defense moves.
Incongruity: An example of this in the movie clip is when Robin Hood's men pop out of no where and the accordian player comes down from the trees.
Reversal: Fiona saves Shrek from Robin Hood and his men rather than Shrek saving himself. Women rarely save themselves in these sorts of situations in fairytales.
Parody: Fiona fights Robin Hood and his men in slow motion.
