And that is irony!
Lines from Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" modified to actually be ironic.
But still, aren't these more absurd than ironic? My favorite bit of ironic humor is the Robot Devil episode of Futurama.
A death row pardon two minutes too late... because the governor was too busy watching Dead Man Walking to grant clemency any earlier.
Rain on your wedding day... to Ra, the Egyptian sun-god.
But still, aren't these more absurd than ironic? My favorite bit of ironic humor is the Robot Devil episode of Futurama.

No, you're right.
On that list, perhaps the only one that is truly ironic is:
A traffic jam when you're already late... to receive an award from the Municipal Planning Board for reducing the city's automobile congestion 80 percent.
Otherwise, they're mostly just absurd.
Although the fact that their re-writing of the song to be ironic does itself lack any irony is itself ironic.

Yeah - hence the post title.
Also, the devil label refers to Alanis and not BeelzeBot.
