HAHA, I busted this one out today.

See above poast.

That Video Killed the Radio Star was the first video shown on MTV.

*Asks as he spends time posting a rhetorical question on 2+2*

zomg thats not a word lolz dont u kno neth1ng?


(that's what you were looking for i assume)



In all seriousness, there are a lot of "common knowledge" things in this thread that arent actually common knowledge.

"Internet forum people" have a lot of weird general knowledge, and we get exposed to a lot more snippy douchebag comments than people who dont browse message boards. A lot of the things written here would be trite on a message board, but wouldnt be in real life. And even though im an internetz veteran, i still didnt know some of the things written.

Actually it is a word. And that's something people like to point out to look smart.

which is greater,

the number of people who point it isnt a word to look smart?

or the number of people who point out that it is a word to look smart?

and sometimes we get a glimpse of the beach boys muse

That actor Hank Azaria is all torn up and built.

Yeah, we've seen him in every single movie without his shirt on. We get it. He's ironically built. It's no longer ironic or funny.

Great, I have absolutely nothing to talk about, with anyone, ever, after reading this thread.

Oh, wait! Did you know a peanut is actually a legume? Sweeeet..

A friend of mine that was there said he hid the chip under a napkin and later bet all of his chips leaving the one chip unbet.

OMG DID YOU KNOW THAT WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT ACTUALLY CHOCOLATE AT ALL DID YOU ****ING KNOW THAT

I didn't know that. No wonder I don't like it.

So I went to wikipedia to see what white chocolate was all about, and with two clicks I went from white chocolate to cocoa butter to suppository. Behold the wonders of wikipedia.

Do you take the same stance on presidential elections? Is voting an unnecessary chore that people bad at math take part in every four years?

i think youre doing this very very wrongly somehow

Do you know how long it's been since I've seen or heard someone use the term "beg the question" correctly? Thank you.

(not sarcastic)

You guys are smart, I'd didn't know at least half of these.

My problem with the "no line in Ironic" is ironic is that some of them are ironic, especially if you use a literary definition: from dicitonary.com: Irony: a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., esp. as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.
Lyrics:
An old man turned ninety-eight /He won the lottery and died the next day
ironic b/c he won but didn't get to spend the money

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay - ironic b/c it's a black fly in your white wine

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late - ironic b/c he was spared the death penalty (and technically any punishment at all if it was really a pardon) after he was dead

It's like rain on your wedding day - implicitly ironic b/c most brides probably don't think about their wedding day in terms of it being rainy- they think about it as a perfect sunny day. And they might’ve even picked that day b/c it was the least rainy day.

It's a free ride when you've already paid – not all that ironic.
It's the good advice that you just didn't take – not ironic.
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly / He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye / He waited his whole damn life to take that flight /And as the plane crashed down he thought /"Well isn't this nice..."/ And isn't it ironic... don't you think – ironic b/c
A traffic jam when you're already late – not ironic.
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break – clearly ironic. Smoker wants to smoke on their smoke break but they can’t b/c of a no-smoking sign.
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife – ironic b/c they have an overabundance of one utensil and, implicitly, no knives
It's meeting the man of my dreams / And then meeting his beautiful wife – ironic b/c she waits her whole life to meet the man of her dreams, meets him, and then finds him unavailable

This entire post tilts me unbelievably hard. Please never say anything like this ever again.

spoons arent really the antithesis to knives. you can actually use the edge on some of them to chisel through softer meats.


10,000 knives when all you need is a spoon would a bit better imo. (try to imagine someone knifing a soup into their mouth)


maybe not ironic, but hilarious.

This is not ironic at all. You would expect the man of her dreams to have a beautiful wife, it would be ironic if he was totally alone since he is so great.

asdf

that would be MORE ironic than the line in the song, but the line in the song is still ironic.

Homer Simpson: So, Mr. Malloy, it seems that the cat has been caught by the very person who was trying to catch him.

Seymour Skinner: How ironic.
