Man, are you californian? I have noticed that what californians call irony and my own definition are completely different. What you're talking about I'd maybe call deadpanning - sorry, not really up on the various types of comedy. Irony would be more like a guy who had long publicly scorned version control, mocking all who used it, losing all of his code because of some problem which would have been easily avoided by the use of version control. Guh, reminds me of what my friend used to do. He'd be acting all excited and say "Did you hear? Nine Inch Nails is having a concert here next month!" and I'd be like "Wow, cool, I want to go!" and then he'd crack up laughing and say "I can't believe you thought I was serious". edit: he didn't deserve to be downvoted .. wtf. Maybe downvoting should cost the downvoter a point too, like on Stack Overflow. Would be an interesting experiment.
