* Many comedians (in particular Irish comic Ed Byrne) observed that the [[Alanis Morissette]] song "Ironic" did not contain a single thing that was ironic, but that may be the point of the song.
** Herbert Lindenberger, professor of comparative literature and English at Stanford, went on [[NPRNational Public Radio]] to explain that the Morisette song had perfect examples of situational irony and cosmic irony. So apparently, it's pretty (drumroll please) ''ironic'' when people claim that the examples in the song are not ironic. According to people who are a lot more educated than most of us.
* One of [[Jon Lajoie]]'s many rapper personas (from "WTF Collective") is MC Doesn't Know What Irony Is. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|He really, really doesn't.]]
