Lady of The Sheep NOT being able to eat grass (but i can cos it will only go to my stomach,...HAHA all of those who laughed!)

Empower criticising people for not saying anything useful in their posts is pretty ironic.
Also...
“The illiteracy level of our children are appalling.”

@Lady of the sheep: Thats not ironic you silly billy goat!
EDIT: Wait! Are my examples hipocrisy or irony or both? Tis quite confusing. I think they are both.
"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

My English teacher was telling us a few days ago how American's just don't know how to use the word 'ironic' properly, and how they just don't get British humour. There's a song callled 'Isnt it ironic?' and all the things that are mentioned ARENT ironic but are coincedences
I can't think of any at the top of my head, though.
Actually, the ironic thing about what your teacher said is that Alanis Morissette is Canadian, not American. xD Americans fully acknowledge that her song isn't ironic at all.Originally Posted by Zeldy

I think the idea that I try so hard to lose weight, yet never even come close to my target weight, while people I know eat constantly and don't exercise, yet are tiny, is ironic.
I was just listening to that song yesterday
Wat
is
going
on
wtf
rawr
How im the laziest dude everyone knows but i can kick all of there asses at practically any sport
Futurama had a running gag on that very case in their final episode of the 4th season. The robot devil kept saying things were ironic and Bender kept pointing out that it is just a coincidence.
Then at the end there was a situation where The Robot Devil asked for Leela's hand in exchange for something. What he meant was hand in marriage XD
Then bender read the definition of Irony and proclaimed that the situation was indeed a case of Irony XD
Classic :D
How people always accuse me of laziness, yet I still got the best grades in my exams.
When people were talking to us about exam success they said that organisation was vital. Yet Im the most disorganised person in the world.

If that was true, I don't think Americans would love Monty Python as much as they do. Nor would The Simpsons or Futurama have ever been half the success they were.
The most ironic thing I can think of is the Irony award in X360 version of BioShock. I'll spoiler it because of... well, spoilers.
(SPOILER)At one point in the game you have to kill people for a guy named Sander Cohen, and then photograph their corpses for his 'masterpiece'. If you kill him, and photograph HIS corpse, you get the 'Irony' achievement.
The most underrated member ciddie. As soon as you win you've instantly been rated higher than the other nominees.
It's ironic when people diss LDRs because they "Never work out," yet it's coming from the same people who can't keep a boyfriend/girlfriend for more than 23 weeks xD
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that sarcasm? Or maybe not. To be honest I have kind of a hard time differencing sarcasm and irony from each other. But I do know this: There are different types of irony - one of them being tragic irony (the audience knows something the character in a movie doesn't - e.g. the killer is standing behind the door or that Juliet isn't dead when Romeo takes the poison)., another being cosmic irony (a painter going blind or a composer going deaf) and a third being situational irony (if you win the lottery and die the next day - yes, that is from the Alanis Morissette song :P). If there are more kinds of irony, someone please teach meIf that was true, I don't think Americans would love Monty Python as much as they do. Nor would The Simpsons or Futurama have ever been half the success they were..
The fact I act like an egotistical maniac when in reality I'm an insecure wreck.
There is no signature here. Move along.
That England have qualification handed to them about 6000000 times and still fail to get through. :(
I find it ironic that England made an amazing comeback and still lost.
I also find it ironic that I dont give a smurf anymore.
