You know what's ironic?
Edited on Tue Oct-05-04 11:31 PM by jpgray
If you say something is ironic when it is not, that statement itself is ironic, but this retroactively transmogrifies the same statement back to non-irony because it is only ironic when it is false in its depiction of irony. When it becomes a factual account of irony, it ceases to be ironic. It is both ironic and not ironic, which is deeply ironic.

10. an example of Irony


ROBOT DEVIL

I want my hands back!

FRY

Never!
A deal's a deal!
Even with a dirty dealer!

ROBOT DEVIL

Very well.
Then I'll take what I want from Leela!
Leela has promised me her hand.

LEELA

Fry, you do not understand!
I should have revealed I've been deafened by Bender.
The shame. The shame!
But I feared you'd stop writing this musical splendor.
Deception's the curse of my whimsical gender.
He gave me mechanical ears.
Effective though just a bit garish.
In return without shedding a tear, I agreed
that I'd give him my hand!

ROBOT DEVIL

In marriage!

LEELA

What?!

ROBOT DEVIL

You'll give me your hand in marriage!

HERMES

Is this really happening or just being staged?

FARNSWORTH

It can't be real.

AMY

Not if Leela is engaged.

LEELA

That isn't what I meant.
That isn't what I signed!

ROBOT DEVIL

You should have checked the wording in the fine - print.

LEELA

I'll give you my hand-

LEELA AND ROBOT DEVIL

In marriage.


BENDER

The use of words expressing something of the other than the literal intention.
Now that is irony!
