Loads and Loads of Irony

"Loads and Loads of Irony" is what happens when irony comes into play, via a moment that in hindsight is ironic or just someone ironically doing something they usually didn't want to.

If said irony has catastrophic events down the road, see Downwards Funnel.

Also, since spoilers are ahead, it's best to watch the shows/movies and play the games before reading the rest of the page.

## Examples

* *RWBY*: Jacques confines Weiss to the manor grounds more than halfway through Volume 4 and ends up arrested *by his own daughter* a few volumes later.
	+ Beacon being overrun by Grimm. It was plotted by the villains, but still. Likewise, the team members being broken up, especially Team RWBY. They eventually get back together, but still.
	+ One of said villains said "Lie, Steal, Cheat, and Survive!" Guess which part of the line was the ironic part? "Survive", considering he was killed by a Grimm immediately after this line.
	+ Deceased characters in the main series turning up in *RWBY Chibi*. Good thing it's an alternate universe, else there would be a lot of questions.
* *Pokémon*: Despite Ash claiming he'll be the greatest Pokémon Master of all time, it only took him *seven* regions (counting Alola, but not counting the Orange Islands or the Battle Frontier) to even win *one* major tournament. And said win only happened because the anime was getting a soft reboot anyway, making this double-subverted.
* *Ojamajo Doremi*: Despite Doremi (Dorie in the dub) failing to hide the fact she was a witch from her friends, she... doesn't turn into a witch frog. Turns out, it's a loophole; call a Witchling a witch the first time around, and nothing happens aside from embarrassment (and the people who called them out becoming Witchlings too). And in the English dub, it's implied it won't happen to Witchlings *at all*.
* *Too Many Toys* was a book that came out during a recession (specifically, the 2008 recession), and even if the recession weren't a factor, the entire book was basically *Hoarders* for preschoolers.
* Ironically for one of America's favorite pastimes, the sport of football (American football, of course, not association football/soccer) has seen lowering attendance due to "anthem protests, protests to those protests, and worst of all, concussions".
* There's a reason why *Clean Freak! Aoyama kun* is a title of a manga where, ironically for a soccer player, the titular Aoyama is a guy for cleanliness.
* Ironically enough, for The Coca-Cola Company's biggest mistake in their flagship drink's history, New Coke did *pretty well* at the Pepsi Challenges. Not enough for the new formula to be made permanent, but it still beat Pepsi at said Pepsi Challenges.
* Pepsi's "Number Fever" promotion in the Philippines basically took Oprah's "Everybody gets a car" meme and applied it to *cash prizes*. Here's where the irony comes in- Pepsi didn't intend for this to happen, it's just some really bad misinterpretation happened and... you get the point. At the end of the day, this caused Pepsi to go *over* their intended budget.
* Ironically, it was Mojo Jojo that helped create his worst enemies- the Powerpuff Girls.
* *The Fairly OddParents*: Timmy's wishes will *always* go wrong, even if ironically the wish was meant to *help* make other lives better.
* *The Simpsons*: Bart's usual prank call ultimately backfired once in "Flaming Moe's". He actually *bailed out* because of this backfiring.
* In *South Park*, Cartman has ironically ultimately gotten away with *a lot* of evil stuff, only having been arrested *six times* in the first 21 seasons *alone*.
* Failed titles and acquiring more titles that are destined to fail (not to mention dubbing most titles they pick up) are the main reasons the big three in anime distributors in the 2000s went out of business despite ironically having been projected to grow their market shares within the next few years by then. Of course, in ADV and Geneon's cases, the recession didn't help either.
* One of the usual *SpongeBob SquarePants* formulas got twisted in one episode (with Plankton catching Krabs stealing *the former's* recipe).
* Roshi's beer in *Dragon Ball Z Abridged* is ironically depicted as various things. Cartoon Network was known for editing the anime for broadcast, and thus *Abridged* had more than enough material to work with for that scene.
* How come Seto Kaiba can fire his parents while Mirabelle only fails at the same thing spectacularly because of it? Kaiba's just obscenely rich.
* It'd be hard to find anyone who knew that the videogame of *Hannah Montana: The Movie* once sold *outrageously*... until it was pointed out that ironically, despite the game's selling price at that point, people were being swindled out of money because of rumours of a debug mode... *that did not exist in the first place*.
* The only Nintendo GameCube game that utilized technology later used in the development of the Nintendo 3DS was, ironically enough, *Luigi's Mansion*.
* Radium was once touted as having various health benefits... when in reality it actively killed its users. A group of radium-poisoned girls, known as the Radium Girls, ended up suing US Radium and the Radium Dial Company and after years of legal fights, they *won*.
* A collectable Boba Fett got broken in *Welcome to Eltingville*. Good thing it's animated, else collectors would have been *angry*.
* Ironically for a Jewelpet who likes eating, Ruby can sometimes overeat a bit, as seen in *Sunshine*, *Kira Deco*, and *big time* in *Magical Change*. It was also a main plot point of *Attack Chance!?*.
* *Bakuman*: Nanamine ironically rips plots straight out of his rival Ashirogi's *PCP* for one of his own manga despite using a team of online assistants for it. And to add more irony to this, the editors of *Weekly Shonen Jump* (as portrayed in the manga) didn't ban him from writing in the magazine right then and there due to plagiarism. And even more ironically, despite *Death Note*, from the same mangakas as *Bakuman*, getting a TV anime in real life, *PCP* does *not* in the *Bakuman* universe because no one is willing to sponsor one.
	+ And in the *Bakuman* anime, Nanamine doesn't even get banned from *Weekly Shonen Jack* despite all of the above. Instead, the worst punishment he got was his manga being cancelled due to low popularity.
* Impersonating a police officer is this, since doing so is liable to get the criminal responsible arrested by real cops.
* Believe it or not, *Beatcats* is, ironically, *not* Sanrio's first music group. That would be Plasmagica of *Show by Rock!!*. Though considering Plasmagica were meant to be in a videogame from the beginning, if *Show by Rock!!* isn't counted, the title would fall to the OTMGirls from *Aggretsuko*. That said, neither Plasmagica nor OTMGirls were meant to be (and aren't) under a music label in the first place, while *Beatcats* was intended to.
* Ironically for a retro anime licensor, Discotek Media have licensed some HD-era series (most of which were sub-licensed from Crunchyroll) and even titles that have previously never seen a US release (such as *Acrobunch* and the second half of *Kodocha*). Though the latter bring a loophole for Discotek; those anime series technically count as retro anime since they were available in Japan for *decades*.
	+ Speaking of which, Discotek's DVD release of *Fighting Foodons* is ironically the only official physical release of the anime in the *world*- not even getting a release in its native Japan. Any VHS tapes of it are, unfortunately, rips from Japanese TV (or the FoxBox broadcasts). Because of this, the release is dub-only.
* There are a lot of bad things Tropes Fanon won't talk about, for obvious reasons. But when the Capitol was stormed, Tropes Fanon decided to make an exception to the "not talking about it" bit, since it could very well be the very thing that got Trump impeached again. It should also be noted that Tropes Fanon does not condone the actions taken by the rioters. But ironically, despite the ensuing chaos, some Trump supporters *supported* the entire ordeal and got well-deserved punishment for it.
	+ Just a few months before, Trump was filing dozens of lawsuits claiming there was a lot of election fraud. Unfortunately for Trump, he waited until *after* the election to file said suits. What was the point of filing them when the election was already over? And ironically, even the judges who supported his agenda found his claims to be untrue. Predictably, all his lawsuits were laughed out of court.
		- Trump's elimination catchphrase, "You're fired", was turned on him after he lost the election.
* GameStop became the subject of a *short squeeze* because of some hedge funds' bets that GameStop stock would go down. Ironically for a business who were closing stores, the exact opposite happened: people on Reddit (we can't say which subreddit, for obvious reasons) bought a lot of GameStop stock and made it go *up*, not just making hedge funds lose a ton of money, but making it so that one hedge fund had to be *bailed out* because of the losses they made.
* At the end of *Patema Inverted*, after spending almost the entire film oppressing the "inverted" ones, it's revealed that the people of *Aiga* were, ironically, the true inverted ones. Izamura ended up falling to his death because he (and pretty much the rest of Aiga) forgot this fact.
