Alanis Morrisette's song "Ironic"? Actually, the song has no examples of irony. They are just examples of things that suck. However, because the song title is "Ironic" and actually contains no example of irony, the song itself is ironic. The contents are the opposite of what you expect it to be about.


examples of irony :

a. my dad will be so happy if he will see my card in vibrant colors

b. its so nice of you to read my letters without asking my permission

c you're so beautiful you look like my grandmother's feet

d. i lost my purse , this is my lucky day
---- == == some examples are i know that i know nothing

  • Sir, may I say you are as smart as Einstein ever was.

But now consider that everyone in the room - except the boss - knows that the employee has a dog named Einstein, and that dog was the real intent of of the employee's named reference. This would be exquisitely ironic, because the boss would truly believe the employee's statement to be high praise, whereas everyone else would understand the statement for the ribald insult it was meant to be.


(Example from another question on this site.)


1. A police officer getting arrested.

2. The Titanic: an 'unsinkable' ship that sunk.

3. A fisherman who is allergic to fish.

4. An antislavery person who owns slaves (that would have been back in the time of the civil war)

5. A race horse that can't run fast at all.
It's ironic that most sentences beginning "It's ironic that ..." are not ironic. Like that one.

I'll think of another nine later, whne I am feeling less cynical.
i lost my wallet.this must be my lucky day.
