hyperanimefan 

Someone not quite a normal anime fan but not a wapanese. A normal anime fan is an american that likes anime. A wapanese is an american that thinks they're japenese and behaves exactly like a real japanese person. A hyperanimefan is someone that is slightly crazy and thinks they live in an anime. They speak a lot of japanese, make little chibi faces, and frequently glomp people. Are more unusually hyper than the average homosapien. They are quite aware of their americanness and listen to american music, eat american food, don't go to cosplays, etc., however they are a little 'different'.
Konichiwaa! *glomp* *jumps around hyperly* Let's go fight some dragons!!

Hypeirony 

Hype-irony (hi-pi-row-ny) -; The act of being somewhat of a wingman and hyping something a person said with at least 3 people present all in all, while at the same time applying sarcasm in a way that the majority of the people that are present sense that you actually think said person is a blatant idiot.

It's important to do it in a convincing, hype-esk fashion. Otherwise, it's just regular sarcasm. Let hypeirony be a surprise element. If you're in an office environment, limit the amount of hypeirony and spread it out evenly during the course of a week, and apply hypeirony when the noise level at the office is at the lowest.

Closely related to trolling.
At a party:

Person 1: Hey, let's put more Adele on the playlist!
Person 2: Yeah, let's put more Adele on the playlist, she's awesome! (Hypeirony)

At the office:

Person 1: Frank better deliver that report in time
Frank's office friend in the back of the office: Yeah, he totally has to deliver, or else you'll get him! (Hypeirony)
