When someone tells a long story and you zone out, and the story teller looks for a reaction, saying "sweet irony" to the story teller is an appropriate response. Story that was told may or may not contain actual irony.

Get the Sweet irony mug.An unfortunate coincidence that is, in no way, ironic. Inspired by Alanis Morrisette's "Ironic", which doesn't use irony in any of the song, just a bunch of examples of bad luck.
Isn't it ironic that we're both wearing the same Alanis t-shirts today?
Not really, it's just a coincidence.
Right, it's Canadian Irony!

Schrödinger’s Irony is when a meme is racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive. The OP of the meme decides if it was ironic or not based on the reception it gets, thus being ironic and non-ironic at the same time.
“It’s Schrödinger’s Irony! My meme is racist and not funny, you say? Well then it was merely ironic!”

Get the Irony mug.The point of meta irony is to muddle the joke making your audience wonder if you’re being serious or joking and ultimately leaving them confused. And maybe even concerned
Meta-Irony is a layer of a joke. First comes “Sincerity/Pre-Irony”, then “Sarcasm/Irony” and last “Post Irony/Meta Irony”
Meta Irony is commonly used in Gen Z humor, because of the world they grew up in which was very bleak.. ie 9/11, constant news updates, having a date for when it’s too late to stop climate change, stock market crash, a generation born into the technology age etc.
Gen Z humor follows a nihilistic approach, nothing matters so who cares what I say or do or actually come off as “cringe”.
Millennials however also had a nihilistic approach but seeped more into nothing matters, so why should I try.. *listens to MCR*
Meta-Irony and Gen Z humor looks for the zany and random because they are so completely immersed in media that they have seen it all and have a need or search for more.

Meta Irony Can sound like:
Omg guys!! Stop calling me a furry haha, it’s not like I have a suit in my closet or anything haha lol, you totally wouldn’t find ears hidden in my bed sheets.. haha who would even think that?? I mean unless… I’m KIDDING!! No but like I mean…
Or using “Rawr XD” because Gen Z knows just exactly how cringey it is and now finds it funny to add into sentences among peers.
Ex: *in a manic happy tone* “yeah I’m just having the peachiest time today at work doing my absolute favorite tasks like blending peanut butter!! No it’s literally the best actually because it comes out so smooth it’s just my favorite when it pours perfectly in the bottle. I’ll keep you updated L-O-L Rawr XD!!
