    :slap: most of those aren't actually ironic

    heres a link explaining what irony is

    Verbal irony is a disparity of expression and intention: when a speaker says one thing but means another, or when a literal meaning is contrary to its intended effect. An acute example of this would be sarcasm.
    Dramatic irony is a disparity of expression and awareness: when words and actions possess a significance that the listener or audience understands, but the speaker or character does not.
    Situational irony is the disparity of intention and result: when the result of an action is contrary to the desired or expected effect. Likewise, cosmic irony is disparity between human desires and the harsh realities of the outside world . By some definitions, situational irony and cosmic irony are not irony at all.
    however they are all still funny

    So yellowdog's post is ironic in that his ironic post lacks true irony?

    Yup, so the heading is still completely accurate you could say!
