36 Of The Most Ironic Moments Ever

ADVERTISEMENT

Ironic situations and incidents are lurking all around us, waiting to be captured on camera. We gathered these 35 hilariously funny images to show you some of the best examples of irony that we can find in our everyday lives.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “irony” originates in the early 16th century from the Greek word εἰρωνεία, meaning “simulated ignorance”. There are three major sections of irony and sarcasm usage: verbal, dramatic and situational. Verbal irony is when the opposite of what is meant is said. It is commonly encountered on a daily basis in familiar conversations. The dramatic irony is evident in such story-telling forms as plays, books, and cinema, and requires that at least one character doesn’t know something that is clear to all of the other characters as well as the reader/viewer.

And, finally, there’s a situational irony – the sort that this post is all about. This type of usage for irony is relatively modern and usually means some kind of comical discrepancy, contrast or a literal opposition between the aims of an action and its actual result. If you find a burning car that was originally covered in flame-like stickers, or a book, called “Teeth Are Not For Biting” all chewed up ironic and funny enough, here’s a neat set of funny pictures for you.
