examples of irony

[penguinabc123]

for eg. that isnt it ironic song, those things arent actually ironic, just coincedences.


im pretty sure im right, but i was wondering if anyone had other examples of an ironic situation.

I am reminded of a scene from one of my favorite online syndications.

-----------------

Grif: [the Red and Blue teams call a truce] So now we're forced to work together? How ironic.
Simmons: No, that's not ironic! Ironic would be if we had to work together to hurt each other!
Donut: No, ironic would be, if instead of that guy kidnapping Lopez, Lopez kidnapped him.
Sarge: I think it would be ironic if our guns didn't shoot bullets, but instead squirted a healing salve that cured all wounds.
Caboose: I think it would be ironic if everyone was made of iron.
[both teams have been arguing over the nature of irony for 2 hours]
Church: Okay. We all agree that while the current situation is not totally ironic, the fact that we now have to work together is odd in an unexpected way, that defies our normal circumstances. Is everyone happy with that?
