Douche Paradox 

Doing douchey things to make fun of douches, which in fact makes you a douche. This explains why no one thinks they're actually a douche.
When Blake blows dope vape clowds he thinks he's ironically making fun of douche subculture, when it actually just makes him a douche. This puts him in a douche paradox.

The grandfather paradox is a paradox of time travel in which inconsistencies emerge through changing the past.
