Bizzare Ironic Images


Welcome To
IronicIronies.com
A Visual Study In Applied Anthropology
By Tim McGuinness, Ph.D.

The Purpose of this site is both a parody, as well as to explore the irrational, funny, and sometimes silly side of ironic imagery, but also explore the universal nature of human communication at its most basic:  sarcastic, funny, and refusing to take life too seriously!  Works for me!

But what is Irony anyway?

Types of irony: Modern theories distinguish among verbal, dramatic and situational irony.  They are:

  • Verbal irony is a disparity of expression and intention: when a speaker says one thing but means another, or when a literal meaning is contrary to its intended effect. An example of this is sarcasm.
  • Dramatic irony is a disparity of expression and awareness: when words and actions possess a significance that the listener or audience understands, but the speaker or character does not.
  • Situational irony is the disparity of intention and result: when the result of an action is contrary to the desired or expected effect. Likewise, cosmic irony is disparity between human desires and the harsh realities of the outside world (or the whims of the gods). By some definitions, situational irony and cosmic irony are not irony at all.
