Irony at its best

[VhsTapeclock]

What are the best examples of irony you've come across? Mine:

John Holmes. Claims he had a 12-16-inch long cock, and claimed to have slept with 14000 women.
Died of AIDS.

[SirLebowski]

You should be raped by your 8th grade English teacher. That isn't irony. I would expect a porn star that sleeps with a lot of whorey women to die of or get an STD.

Now THAT'S irony.

I don't see irony in sleeping with the world then getting AIDS.

Well, sorry, I don't watch television, and if I did, I wouldn't watch Family Guy.

How is it irony that something expected happens? Do you need an 8th grade English teacher raping, too?

i like how when u reply, stuff is like a pyramid!

[Idiosyncratic]

Irony is the unexpected happening. So John Holmes's death was ironic back in the day, but nowadays it's one of those "it was bound to happen" things.

Your post is totally relevant to this discussion and I value your taking the time to write it.

To everyone else, alright, it's not irony. But it's funny. Doesn't mean YOU can't post irony.

[[WIKIPEDIA DESCRIPTION]]
Irony (from the Ancient Greek %u03B5%u1F30%u03C1%u03C9%u03BD%u03B5%u03 AF%u03B1 eironeía, meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity or discordance between what one says or does, and what one means or what is generally understood. Irony is a mode of expression that calls attention to discrepancy between two levels of knowledge. In fiction, it is a demonstration of the distance between the character's knowledge and that of the audience.

Okay, okay, I get it! I fucked up! Drop it and post some funny ironic stuff!

[Zyphonee]

a nice good ol' funny irony

A politician from I don't know what state, blowed his own head out because someone sent him a gun via mail so he could shoot himself, the guy checked the gun, made sure the gun was empty and said "this people's head is empty, the have the resources but they don't have the head to exploit them" as an example, he showed how the people had the gun but not the bullets and pulled the trigger...

he hadn't checked the cannon.

It's verbal irony.

Well, if you did, he was probably saying that because there is a almost some joke about John Holmes.

Just so you know....

A diabetic getting hit & killed by a truck hauling sugar, while on his way to get more insulin.

I think its ironic that a thread about irony at its best isn't really filled with irony.

THIS!

also, one of the best examples of irony is ejecting seats in a helicopter.

Buying flammable fire resistent spray. Thought about it while watching the "Bedtime Stories" promo

HEY GUYS I DONT WATCH TELLOVIZZIN BECAUSE IM SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU

IM GOING TO GO WRITE MY NOVEL ON MY MACBOOK AT STARBUCKS THAT'S ABOUT STOPPING GLOBAL WARMING SO I CAN RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT CARBON EMISSIONS AND SHIT LIKE THAT

[BlazingIce]

I once saw this Newb online, yelling at other people for having bad spelling and grammar. The thing is, he typed like shit.

[Kronkus]

It isn't irony it's an inevitable consequence of his actions.

[StarF68]

That one health nut guy that wrote all sorts of books about jogging and whanot, and then had a heart attack and died while jogging.

[Doomhammr]

Irony would be a guy who uses condoms every time and only sleeps with girls who have had STD tests every month who died of aids. It's when something opposite of the expected happens but it's still plausible.

[Another-User]

Irony would be a song about irony, in which not a single example is actually ironic.
Irony is the guy who electricutes himself setting up a how security system.
Irony is creating a topic about irony, in which the OP gives the exact opposite of irony as an example.
