A character wrongly declares some situation to be ironic, and another character corrects them. Often, irony seems to be something just not everyone can grasp. Compare to You Keep Using That Word and Sarcasm-Blind. |

Castle: Inversion: Castle and Beckett are able to identify a murderer because he sends someone to retrieve the victim's mail, which contains evidence that points to him as the killer. Beckett notes that it's ironic that the murderer's efforts to cover for himself got him caught since the cops weren't planning to check the victim's mail and would never have found the evidence. Castle immediately thanks her for using the word ironic correctly. In another example, Castle has this comment for a suspect whose shrink was murdered: |

In the movie Reality Bites, Lelaina was refused a job because she was unable to define irony. She then complains to Troy that nobody knows what it means, and he promptly replies with a clear and succinct definition. Though it seems even Troy doesn't know what it is, since his definition "when the actual meaning is the complete opposite of the literal meaning" is contradictory to the point of bordering on paradox (if anything, it's a better definition for sarcasm, not irony). | |

Teen Titans Go! episode "Rain on Your Wedding Go" has Robin get fed up with his teammates misusing irony so, on a stealth mission to stop the Brain, he loudly lectures them on the various meanings of irony. At the climax the Brain's evil plan actually improves life in the city instead of ruining it, which the Titans correctly point out is situational irony. This correct observation of irony endears the Brain so much he gives up evil, before the Titans launching into rapid misuse of the word literally begins to irritate him. | |

A running gag in Discworld regarding dwarves is that they are so straightforward, serious, and unimaginative that they think that irony means "something like iron." It technically does (second entry), but it's definitely not the most common usage. | |

In Frisky Dingo, when former billionaire Xander Crews winds up homeless, the documentarian says it's ironic how he's now living in cardboard boxes produced by the company he used to own. Xander says that's not what irony means, while the documentarian replies that that's exactly what irony means. | |

In Sword Art Online Abridged, what makes Kirito and Asuna start to really appreciate Yui is when she corrects Yullier that the "peace conference" in a dungeon that turned out to be a trap her husband fell into isn't ironic, but closer to "completely expected." | |

An episode of The King of Queens had Doug call something ironic and Arthur insists that that's not what irony is. At the end of the episode, Arthur wakes Doug up in the middle of the night claiming he looked up ironic in the dictionary, and admits he was wrong: he thought "ironic" meant "made entirely of iron". | |

A running gag in the Futurama episode "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" is Bender correcting the Robot Devil on his use and abuse of the word "irony". However, the first instance of the Robot Devil's use of irony is actually a form of situational irony. You think the wheel is going to land on Bender's name, but it hits the Robot Devil's instead: Bender's statement "It's not ironic, it's just coincidental!" is not only incorrect as it is in fact ironic, but it is not coincidental. However, Bender is still correct from his point of view, since the characters had no inclination on where it was going to land, and without narrative causality, it was just a coincidence. Which is more of a fitting definition of sarcasm. |

Played straight and subverted in one episode of Hercules: The Animated Series. Athena hires Hercules to steal a new magic bow that was gifted to Ares by Hephaestus, which unknown to everyone, is a sapient Deadpan Snarker with an annoying voice. Hercules gets captured and is about to be executed by Ares with the bow and he comments on how ironic it is that Hercules will be killed with the very bow he attempted to steal. Played straight as the bow itself interrupts him to say that no, it's Poetic Justice. Later, as Hercules is escaping, Ares takes a shot at him with the bow and misses causing heavy damage to Sparta, the subversion now happens as the bow explains that this was irony. | |

X-Factor (2006): Valeria Richards would like everyone to know that declaring the Invisible Woman has vanished is not ironic. Irony would imply lack of awareness. At best it's whimsy, and given two kids are worried because their mom's legitimately missing and their dad's acting creepy-weird, that would still be a stretch. | |

In Jam by Ben Croshaw, the central gag of the Bagmen living in a mall is that their group was founded by a bunch of young people on some survivalist internet forum, who constantly misuse the term irony due to Memetic Mutation. Tim eventually calls them out on this while campaigning to become their new leader. | |
