Irony in real life

[blockhead]

I am a heavy pot smoker and recently hooked up with a girl whose father just retired from a high position in the D.E.A. I found this quite ironic.

Discuss other examples of irony.

[Benzum]

pot smoking > christianity

good irony

[blockhead]

I have to agree with that.

[here comes the bird flu]

this shirt is blue how ironic

[pulseczar]

A deaf man desires to hear! Hark what an ironious turn of fate

[Mother]

Bu Dum Tish

[Benzum]

A deaf man desires to hear! Hark what an ironious turn of fate

but how can he understand what he knows nothing about

[Black Ink]

That's coincidence.

Irony is an over used word.

[MattyBlade]

That's coincidence.

Irony is an over used word.

[sexymuffin]

thank you!

people using irony wrong is probably one of the gayest things ever and it happens all the time.

like if you don't fully understand the contextual applications of a word, don't use it tbh.

[pulseczar]

oh great people are taking the stuff itt seriously

[dei]

It rained on my wedding day.

[sexymuffin]

i got a free ride when i already paid :/

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I wrote an entire song about what I percieved to be irony, named it "Ironic" and yet, none of the events recounted in the song are actually ironic.

Alanis, is that you!?

Might i just say, what a horse face you have.

[Light Fantastic]

i learned about irony from that song

[dei]

I wrote the book on irony.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I think the best example of irony IRL ever is the architecture building at my university. It's as ugly as sh'it on the outside and on the inside its total fu'cking chaos. The elevators only stop on a few of the 7 floors, there are staircases that go up two levels that lead only to a tiny, disused balcony and an empty supply cupboard. There is no way to get from the North to the South side of the building after the fourth floor so you have to go down, cross and then go up again. It's like Escher crossed with something a down syndrome kid drew with his own poop on the short bus.

i watched a film pretty much exactly the same thing happened

What film?

[sexymuffin]

how can you not know what you dont know

what

How ironic.

[sexymuffin]

How ironic.

see i'm wondering if that song is retarded or genius

because it could be retarded because she got it all wrong

but it could also be utter genius because the whole song in itself is an example of irony

it confuses me :/

According to Wikipedia, she is a genius.

[MattyBlade]

Isn't it ironic that the song about irony is actually about coincidences?

[sexymuffin]

According to Wikipedia, she is a genius.

yeah but everyone knows the wikipedia mods are huge jagged little pill fanboys so i don't trust their opinion

[DanD]

one of my old buddies is a total stoner and he's got the dread locks and what not, and his dad is like the head of the DEA in arizona or something

[Black Ink]

Or you are lying.

[Pastorius]

Irony is so misunderstood by the majority of people

RAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY IS NOT IRONY, IT'S TRAGEDY

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Unless it's Alanis Morrisette's wedding day.

Would that actually be ironic if you wrote a non-ironic song about a rainy wedding and then you're own nupitals were cursed with increment weather?

[Danger Bird]

That's actually just a coincidence.

[Pastorius]

ok is this irony

a man needs money for a heart operation
he wins the lottery, thereby giving him money
the shock of winning the lottery induces a heart attack because of his heart condition

[RIP Ian Curtis]

That's actually just a coincidence.

Yeah, I think you're correct.

[Danger Bird]

the shock of winning the lottery induces a heart attack because of his heart condition

Yeah I'm fairly sure that's irony.

[Pastorius]

pastorius 1 - 0 irony

[sexymuffin]

okay would the narration in american beauty be considered dramatic irony if the person narrating it is the one who is going to die?

[Tillius]

He's already dead when he's narrating, though.

[sexymuffin]

i know which is why i'm wondering if it would count as dramatic irony, because his character he's narrating isn't aware of his impending doom, but the narrator is he himself, very aware of his impending doom.
