That frigging Braveheart statue: hatred of a thousand suns. A giant, cartoonish coprolite squatting at the base of the Wallace Monument.

That fire extinguisher must have been made in Britain.

Actually, these all appear to be valid forms of irony, save for the invisibility spray, which is as INVISIBLE as one would expect it to be.

That's verbal irony. There are different types...

Fire extinguisher: Made in Britain. Typical.
YummyPusher
Somebody has to be that guy... that's an alligator eating the crocs.
meowneko
That's why it is correctly ironic. If it was a croc eating crocs it would be a coincidence, as some others above in fact are.
YummyPusher
made the same distinction on several others about being coincidences, but I was blinded by need to educate the masses on gator physiology!!!

I'm glad you're that guy. I saw that happy face and said to myself: "That's a mutha-fuckin Alligator!"

I think its because gorilla glue is known for being so strong that its funny the wrapper is coming off the bottle? but dont quote me..

I'm not sure that you've completely grasped the concept of irony. Have you been conferring with renowned scholar Alanis Morissette?

When will people realize there are categories of irony? These are situational, and that is a type of irony. They're fine.

(2) For example
NOT ironic. The news is supposed to hit home, and it is literally hitting home. Coincidental.

For something to be ironic, it should be the opposite outcome of what's expected. Some of these are exactly what is expected. Look again. :)

"Teeth Aren't for Biting". That's literally their intended function.
[deleted]

RobinClaassen
Yes, that's more exact, but since teeth are designed to be used in biting, it's not incorrect to refer to them as being "for biting".
luxray
+1 for the correct use of "literally".
cousteau
Yeah, that's figuratively the way to use it. ...Damn, I fucked it up.

Children bite and that makes them weird. Like some freakish, two-legged dog.

eggmuffin

katycatt

RobinClaassen
Don't think the word "intended" works here. The evolutionary function of teeth came largely or entirely from a process of natural selection.
ArdentSlacker
Linguistically, then. You can't bite without teeth. You need a different word if there's no teeth involved.
CShock
"teeth are not for cannibalism" may have been a better title...

Also, "Books aren't for reading" which is carved into a tooth by one of those rice print people.

BenSwol0
The statue is Mel Gibson as William Wallace in Braveheart, instead of the actual person.
Coppermantis
Ah, I've not seen Braveheart so I didn't know.
CoconutCyclone
I think you need to go spend 2-ish hours in front of the Netflix machine.
VaginaPedant
There is no representation of the "actual" William Wallace, but that damned statue is such a cartoonish POS embarrassment...
RobinClaassen
Pre-Braveheart statues, paintings, and engravings of him mostly look alike. Is that just convention based on an early imagining of him?
VaginaPedant
"imagining": That's my understanding from my reading of Scottish history. It's not extensive reading, but more than just wikipedia.

To be fair, real William Wallace has been dead for a century or three; who's to say he didn't look like the Australian actor?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wallace There is obviously no picture or portraits from the time, but most depictions have a beard.
