Irony is defined as “an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.” Others seem to think the word “Ironic” means things that just suck. While sometimes the results can be negative, usually irony is funny…and the 10 pics below are quite amusing.

10. Car Crashes

Anytime a car crashes into a “drive safely” sign, this is irony. If a car cashes into something else because the driver is reading their insurance policy or else reading a “Drive Safely” sign this is called High Irony.

9. Fitness Club

One doesn’t have to be a fitness expert to know that putting an escalator in front of a health club is not a good idea.

8. Political Irony

Politics happens to be full of ironies and contradictions. These two seem to have a good handle on the situation in the Middle East.

7. Sudden Death

Getting croaked by something designed to mark the place of already dead people is ironic. Being a mortician dying from a falling headstone would be incredibly ironic.

6. FreeDOM!!!!!

Irony is taking a statue that is supposed to symbolize freedom and fencing it in.

Unless you’re Alanis Morrisette irony means “an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.” Others seem to think the word “Ironic” means things that just suck. While sometimes the results can be negative, usually irony is funny… and that’s what we do here: go for the funny.

9. Fitness Club

One doesn’t have to be a fitness expert to know that putting an escalator in front of a health club is not a good idea. The only thing more ironic? A doughnut shop with stationary bikes.

8. Political Irony

Politics happens to be full of ironies and contradictions. These two seem to have a good handle on the situation in the Middle East. Real political irony? Giving an achievement award for accomplishments not achieved yet.

6. FreeDOM!!!!!

Irony is taking a statue that is supposed to symbolize freedom and fencing it in. The only thing more ironic would be if the Scottish Jedediah Springfield down there was missing his head as well…. nevermind. SAAAAAY! Is that supposed to be William Wallace or Mel Gibson?

5. Safe(R) Sex

 

4. One Tattoo- Story Told

There is no way on Earth we can’t figure out what this guy’s story is.

3. Newspaper Irony

OKay, how does the irony escape the newspaper editors, writers and printers? My guess is that it doesn’t. What’s more ironic than a closed meeting for open minds?

2. Telemarketers

The world’s most annoying people that will SOLICIT you at any time of day…and usually at dinner…have the nerve to say no soliciting! SMH!

1.Here’s Irony!

Having some shit happen to you while spray painting “Shit Happens”…amazing. LOL.
