sarchasmic

When the other person just can't make the connection to a sarcastic remark due to a large chasm in their intelligence, humor, and/or knowledge base.

The sarchasmic void was just too large to ignore and I struggled to graciously extract myself from the date only 20 minutes into it.

auto-sarchasm

The unwitting use of sarchasm upon oneself.

If I say "refudiate" to Sarah Palin or one of her fans, that's sarchasm. When Sarah Palin or one of her fans says "refudiate", believing that it's a real word, that's auto-sarchasm.
