'Your stupid' makes me want to punch people in the nads. That could just be due to my grammar-nazi sympathies though.TaborMallory said:
Also, the song 'Ironic' by Alanis Morisette is awesomely ironic because none of the examples she cites as irony are. Maybe she pwned us all.
Never seen or heard of it, but a person praying to God to be saved from their illness only to be crushed by a giant cross would be pretty ironic.
In Music:
Korn's song "You wanna hit single," a sweeping monologue about the formulaic nature of the music industry, was a chart-topper.
The genre known as "Indie" has its own record labels.
Most music called "Indie" is syndicated by a third party.
The lead of singer of a band called Nirvana killed himself as a result of severe depression.
Neil Young is one of the rockers from his era living long enough to die of old age.
One of the biggest Metal acts in the eighties was named Rainbow.
KISS, as a whole, is a pile of irony, dressing like metal heads, naming themselves night ins Satan's Service, and then releasing mostly pop rock albums.
Also, it's ironic that Monty Python has never made an album or song referencing irony in the title, as they're ironic post-modern comedians.
Everyone in the music industry has heard of both The Who and The Guess Who.
The Band isn't Ironic, but the Eagles are if you listen to "Rocky Mountain Way" and then "Desperado."
U2 is four people run by Bono Vox.
Neither member of Milli Vanilli was white.
Some people would argue that Queen is innately Ironic. I'd just say Freddy was being eponymous.
Ted Nugent, the writer of "cat scratch fever" has been mauled by a bobcat on two separate occasions.
Ozzy Osbourne makes more sense while signing than talking.
"I can't dance" by Phil Collins is highly Ironic. "I know Jesus" is just plain funny, and sadly true.
Twisted Sister rarely ever wrote songs about women.
Eric Idle is almost always starring, producing, or directing something, and is constantly writing material.
Steven Hawking sells more books than any other physicist.
Mama Cass died of arterial heart failure, but for reasons no one ever could explain, here cause of death was reported as choking on a ham sandwich.
The Carpenters have never been described as foundation-layers of their Genre.
Led Zeppelin was one of the few mega-bands to have dead members for reason un-related to vehicular accidents. at the time John Bonham died.
Bruce Springsteen, known as "The Boss" has always had a leftist pro-labor ideology.

Not necessarily something I've seen but 2 ironic situations I have thought of in the past.
To become immortal but then immediately get buried alive under 10 tons worth of rocks. ]
Or to dig your way out of an avalanche, shout in celebration of your victory over nature, which sets off another avalanche which buries you again.

King charles VIII became increasingly paranoid of being poisoned when he claimed the throne that he began to eat less and less until he eventually died of malnutrition. That sound like irony to me
An Author once wrote " To write is to be immortal"
The person who wrote that is now dead. OH THE IRONY!!
