Circular Irony 

Circular Irony is when an idea or more specifically an ideology is employed that contains contradictions within itself that render the idea or ideology invalid in an unexpected way

An example of this would be freedom of speech. While I understand that it is fundamental to our way of life, it does contain potential contradictions that defeat it. These are people such as hard left feminists or social justice warriors that would use their powers of freedom of speech to shut down opinions they don't like. This violates the powers of freedom of speech of others and themselves because without freedom of speech, they do not have the power to shut down opinions they don't like. This is a mind spinning paradox that they themselves have yet to figure out.
Person 1:RAR I'm an angry feminist and your freedom of speech does not matter to me!!!
Person 2: Hey, that is circular irony. If you try to shut down my freedom of speech, you shut down your own freedom of speech because it is a human right.
Person 1: SHIT!!!

Dank irony 

This is a subset of Ironic Memes on Instagram. It is characterized by the use of old meme culture (impact font text, dead memes, etc.) in an ironic fashion.

The memes are often absurd, random and purposefully unfunny. All these factors combined make the meme funny for certain people. One of the pioneers of this type of humor is Tony Zaret. He uses purposefully cringy, unfunny and nonsensical memes to make skit videos and has a big following. The inventor of this phrase is an ironic instagram account (now inactive) called @dankirony_funny. He was regarded as one of the best "dank irony" accounts of the 2018-2019 irony era.
"When was dank irony in it's prime?"
"2019, bro. @dankirony_funny was the G.O.A.T."

Hood Irony 

"Hood irony" humor is a type of humor that is often found in urban or "hood" communities. It is a form of humor that involves using sarcasm, irony, and wit to poke fun at the struggles and hardships faced by people living in impoverished or marginalized neighborhoods. This type of humor often involves making light of serious situations and can be seen as a coping mechanism for those living in difficult circumstances.

For example, someone might use hood irony humor to joke about the fact that they have to take public transportation to get to work because they can't afford a car, or they might make a sarcastic comment about the poor quality of the food at the local grocery store. This type of humor can be dark or cynical, but it can also be empowering, as it allows people to find humor in difficult situations and to connect with others who are facing similar struggles.

It's important to note that not everyone from a "hood" community will necessarily use or appreciate this type of humor, and it should not be used to perpetuate negative stereotypes or make light of serious issues like poverty or violence. Like all forms of humor, hood irony humor should be used responsibly and with consideration for the feelings and experiences of others.
