Comically antiquated variation on 'ironic' presently used most often to emphasise the unseriousness of a point. 'Ironical', like many nouns accepting the -ical adjectival suffix (e.g., poetical, hermetical, etc.) fell into disuse in favour of the shorter -ic form (e.g., poetic, hermetic, etc.) in Early Modern English. The anachronistic 'ironical' is therefore most commonly used in current speech to suggest the absurdity of an expression.
Speaker 1: That...that doesn't make much sense.
Speaker 2: Yes, one might even suspect, for example, that I was being ironical!

Isn't it ironic that ISIS is attacking France with weapons Made in France but sold to Syria.
People posting things with #PrayForParis, while their government earnt the money to provide for internet by selling weapons to ISIS, is quite ironic.

You just ironized the fuck out of that vape bro.
The ironization of that hit was almost passed threshold.
Holy fuck Bill, that ironization could have killed you if you held it any longer.

That a song about things which are ironic makes no mention of any things which are, in fact, ironic.
