I can't think of any at the top of my head, though.
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
