Double Sarcasm

A sarcastic response to sarcasm, double sarcasm is highly deceptive. Through double sarcasm, it appears that you did not realize that the person was being sarcastic, whereas we both know that you were fully aware of it. In fact, you have to be aware of it in order to count as double sarcasm. Unlike sarcasm, which often utilizes a sarcastic tone, double sarcasm is highly deceptive and utilizes no such tone. The objective is to pretend to miss the original sarcasm and respond seriously. In essence, double sarcasm is the truth disguised by the veil of false ignorance.
