what are these called pls
 

I'm watching this cop show and the writers are killing me.... :1orglaugh

the tires lit up faster than Cheech and Chong
that guy was one fry short of a kids meal
that thought was as foreign to the police as a 2 seated North Korean hybrid
clues were stacking up faster then beef patties on a double cheese burger

metaphors?

lol what

sayings or quotes, aphorism, maybe proverbs, but usually these are to also give advice...

Maybe an idiom, but these are different from the meanings.

So as you've just said some sayings, more similar to aphorism, that's what I'm leaning to

a metaphor is more a figure of speech & doesn't apply, where Grape's said some sayings with some meaning that would apply, well, if you sat next to cheech and chong and they lit up as fast as they do, it would apply if the tires lit up faster :1orglaugh

here ya go guys... think this is it: Epigram

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigram

They are similes.

Simile.

I believe those are similes, not metaphors.

What was the cop show BTW? Sounds a bit like Police Squad?

no kidding, one of the murder shows on discovery ID... the writer is killing me

An epigram is a brief, interesting, memorable, and sometimes surprising or satirical statement.

Although similes and metaphors are similar, similes explicitly use connecting words (such as like, as, so, than, or various verbs such as resemble),[1] though these specific words are not always necessary

possibly both correct? though one is more detailed in it's correctness?

Interesting
