Everyday I come home and stare at the possibility of downloading all the seasons of Future Weapon. It intrigues me to see where military development is heading.

But I think of his stupid face and voice and I stop myself short.

In reply to this comment by therealblankman:
I agree completely, but I'm starting to get a kick out of him... he's like Steve Irwin's retarded brother, only with guns instead of deadly snakes.

In reply to this comment by Farhad2000:
I hate this show and it's stupidly annoying presenter. The presentation is just so gauche.

Irony at its finest (7 seconds)

shuac says...

>> ^Sarzy:
Merriam Webster defines irony as "incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result". The sign was supposed to warn people of danger and thus prevent them from getting hurt; instead it directly caused the biker to get hurt. It is ironic.


I'm more of an irony purist, Sarzy, where outcomes must be exact opposites, rather than just plain old incongruent. If the actual outcome is merely incongruous with the expected outcome, then all the goofy scenarios in that song suddenly become terrific examples of irony.

Using the far more liberal incongruent rule, aka dramatic irony, Steve Irwin's death suddenly becomes ironic. In fact many unexpected deaths qualify as ironic in this manner. Most events in life become ironic too.

The Morrissette (tm) brand of irony is fine for the plebs but I like it more than merely incongruous, baby. I like it exactly opposite! <waa-waa pedal action> Ohh, yeah! Do it! Mmmm, yeah!

Sorry.

"PC Load Letter"?

shuac says...

OK, so let's pursue this.

What is it about the film "Office Space" that makes it suitable to be played/listened to in the workplace? More suitable than other films, that is?

The answer is nothing aside from the title, which, coincidentally, is about working in an office. Hilarious flick too!

The element that is attempting to inject irony is the NSFW tag. Therefore, there should be something about the main subject that makes it inherently suitable for work.

If the film were called "Suitable for Work," then you'd have some irony cooking.

Irony gets false credit for serendipity, coincidence, tragedy, etc...probably more than any other literary device, especially since Alanis Morrisette's "Irony for Dummies" became a hit.

Remember when Steve Irwin was killed? People up and down the internet were calling his death ironic. Steve Irwin defied death in every segment of every show he hosted. I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did. No, an ironic Steve Irwin death would have been in an old age home.

The perfect definition of irony in two words: lifeguard drowns.

Irony has an inequality-of-expectations thing going on that's very difficult to come by naturally. That's what makes irony so special.

Sorry if I've come across as condescending. It's not my intent. This is just one of my pet peeves.

FutureWeapons - AA12 - Fully automatic shotgun

cyberscythe says...

The host kind of reminds me of Steve Irwin with that sort of slightly annoying enthusiasm.

I'm no expert in firearms myself, but my favourite weapon in FPS games is the shotgun, irregardless of how impractical the situation is. It's just really satisfying to pull the trigger and let rag-doll physics do the rest on the target. The downside the fully-automatic model is that you don't get the (also satisfying) pump action going.

great correction, I appreciate that. Sorry if I'd been harsh

In reply to this comment by Reylor:
Done and done. Sorry for taking so long to get around to correcting it

In reply to this comment by looris:
I was going to post this, so I'd like to upvote it, because I think it's even better than the other one.

But I really can't stand the title and description. As EVERYONE said, that's a mod, not an easter egg or what (and how ANYbody could think it was, I dunno, look at the MarineG. comment).

So please correct title, tags, and description. This is not fucking youtube. It's not the place for dumb retitlings such as "OMFG Steve Irwin's death" and crap like that.
