"Hey Blitz, remember those warheads you're so proud of? Like the one you just launched? 5... 4... 3..."
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
In the hero side Twinshot arc, after the arc was completed, after hearing several truly bad jokes from her, she ends the dialogue with me by saying something along the lines of "you really outsmarted us all. That stings." My character's name was Hornet Stinger.
It was such a hilarious coincidental joke that I couldn't help but laugh.
And it's particularly ironic that her funniest joke wasn't intended to be a joke. :P
you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you <3
I wanna fight Vernon von Grun so I can throw bees at him.
Eva Destruction AR/Fire/Munitions Blaster
Darkfire Avenger DM/SD/Body Scrapper
Arc ID#161629 Freaks, Geeks, and Men in Black
Arc ID#431270 Until the End of the World
This probably applies to anyone who's taken up their patron contact's patron power pool and then used it against them in the betrayal arc.

That chick what plays the bird-things...

Now THAT'S irony!
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

"Its not ironic! Its just coincidental!"

Playing Technician Naylor's Nemises Arc where your character thinks that He/She/It's a Robot & you're actually playing a Robotic Character. 
My Lego Models http://www.flickr.com/photos/30369639@N07/ lemur lad: God you can't be that stupid... I'm on at the same time as you for once, and not 20 minutes into it you give me something worth petitioning?Lady-Dee: Hey my fat keeps me warm in the winter and shady in the summer.

Level 53: Arrows/Devices/Munitions Blaster
....and hopeless Science-Natzi.
Quote:
Also inaccurate, as it suggests there is (and provides) only one definition of "irony", when there are in fact many.

The ironic thing about irony is nobody knows the defninition of the word.

All I know is that all things are better when said by Bender.

Irony: creating a thread to encourage and amusement, and attracting the attention of people who have no sense of humor, don't want anyone else to have one, and quibble the thread into the ground out of spite.
Better?

The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo

LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion

Yeah, every time I'm on a Lambda and Marauder shouts "There isn't enough time to stop me!"
My main is a time manipulator. He begs to differ.

Yeah, it's especially funny if there are 15+ minutes left on the clock.

Speaking of which, it's definitely some legit irony that taking the Time Manipulation set doesn't abolish time limits altogether |

Ya know what's ironic? That most of the people who are pedantic about the definition of the word "ironic" usually understand the full extent of the definitions of said word less well than the people they're correcting.
Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.
BattleEngine - "And the prize for the most level headed response ever goes to Mazey"
Quote:
Know what else? The 'pedantic' people are joking. The Alanis pic and Bender vids should have given that away.

Who else has had instances like this...?
WARNING: Arc spoilers may be found here!
While running WWD5 on my merc/TA MM, Profiteer: "Hey, Wade? Remember this?" (holds up a playing card) "Good thing I held onto it, huh?"
While running the Mender Ramiel arc with my grav/kin controller, the former Vanguard Colonel, and encountering the rogue Vanguard Captain Holtz: "Vanguard should deal with its own. Allow me to remind you just how much firepower an HVAS has."
