In "Say Hi or Die" by Josh Freed, the irony lies in the social pressure to engage in friendly greetings, which ultimately highlights the superficiality of such interactions. The protagonist feels compelled to say "hi" to avoid social consequences, yet this forced friendliness can undermine genuine connections. The comedic tension arises from the contrast between the expectation of warmth in greetings and the often awkward, insincere reality of social interactions in modern life.
