What's crazy about this song is that it's about irony, being when the exact opposite of what you expect to happen happens, so he spells "Ironic" forward, backward, then forward, emphasizing the theme of opposites.
the biggest misuse of irony comes from people mistaking coincidental for irony. Rain on a wedding day is not ironic, but unexpected rain on a weather forecasters wedding day would be.
Listen to his other songs, particularly "Words, Words, Words" and "Repeat Stuff". Also, watch his special "what." on youtube and "Make Happy" on Netflix
wasn't it had a beard? spoilers i guess if you haven't watched inside but at the end he comes in with his hair cut and his beard off, unless that was preplanned at the start
@@nienel he didn’t shave it that was the first time he sang it at the beginning of the pandemic, you can tell because there have been tons of photos of him since Inside and the outtakes and he still has the beard, he still had it at the emmys at least from what I’ve seen
Ever notice how he put something sad in the ironic song and put something ironic in the sad song? In the sad song he said “homeless man named rich” In this one he said “I can’t grow a beard”
@@Aux-BlueBerry What do you mean they didn’t believe you? If you just showed them the line from Sad and the line from Ironic, why wouldn’t they believe you…
For everyone wondering about the Barker joke. At the end of EVERY episode of The Price is Right he says, "Please help with animal population by having your pet spayed or neutered
RockerZoom hi if you're wondering, PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it's an organisation that cares about animals and is openly against veal (a meat from baby cows). However the word PETA sounds like the American pronunciation of "pitta" a type of flat bread. It's funny because in the context of eating, "pitta bread" makes sense, but in the context of this song "PETA bread" is an ironic reference to the organisation.
+Ninjabob21 the zodiac has specific symbols to supposably tell you what's gonna happen in the future, and cancer has the symbol of a giant crab so there's that on explained. The Peta joke is about a corporation named Peta that protects animals.
No, not at all. If he's racing cars all the time that would actually be an obvious way for him to die and therefore it would be about the least ironic way he could have died.
jhalls17 He races cars in movies and survives, but he's riding passenger in an actual car and dies. It's ironic ("incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result")
I love how sad and ironic are polar opposites of each other Sad talks about ironic things and is sad about it Ironic talks about sad things and finds them funny
"and i can't grow a beard, that one's not ironic, that one's just sad" MEANWHILE IN SAD "i saw a medic accidentally kill his patient, that one's not sad, that one's just ironic"
That's it! Laughter is the key to everything! It's the solution to all the sadness in the world! The world's not sad! The world's funny! I'm a sociopaaath!
I was in the middle of a doctors visit Because I am horribly dyslexic So he wrote me a note and prescribed me with... wha- I can’t... uh... Isn’t that ironic? I-O-R-N-C-I-R-O-I-C!!!!!
no. Do you think that this show is glorifying or promoting teen pregnancy? Or is it spreading awareness to the struggles faced by individuals who make the decision? I go with the latter and think that the show's aim was to lower teen pregnancy. Therefore, not ironic at all. It was successful.
I don't think that's the case. Actually the US government did away with two abstinence-only education, Adolescent Family Life and Community Based Abstinence Education, while also funding two evidence based education programs, Personal Responsibility Education Program and Teen Pregnancy Prevention initiative in 2010. Which also happens to be the same time teen mom started airing December 8, 2009. I think that we just started teaching correctly and teen mom airing for the first time led people to make a quick assumption because they didn't have the whole picture.
I memorized this entire song after one listen but no matter how hard I tried, for about six months, I couldn’t sing the I-R-O-N-I-C-I-N-O-R-I-R-O-N-I-C to save my life. Now I can sing the entire thing from memory.
and the ones that misread other peoples comments, even though "funny comment thread but aren't furry" doesn't make that much sense and the ones who make too long of a comment ruining the joke
“ I adopted a child from over seas to rescue him from child labour factories and on his very first birthday we went to build a bear work shop” 😂😂😂 it always makes me laugh
One of my favourite way to describe irony is Pavlov’s dog. Every time a bell is rung, the dogs mouth starts to drool because it expects a treat, and will run to where it gets fed, that’s simple stuff. BUT, now every time Pavlov hears a bell ring, he will expect to have to give a dog a treat, or for a dog to run up to him. I don’t know why it’s my favourite because it’s difficult to explain to people in real life, but the idea of your theory happening not only to the subjects but to you as-well is funny.
If there any AH fans here doesn't this laugh sound like Ray's? 2:55 He's also the first one to laugh and Ray comes up with jokes pretty quickly. Maybe I just like AH too much and I'm just hearing things but idk
The thing I like about Bo's songs is that in his songs he says stuff that other people could never say in a song, fearing that they may be cancelled for it, and that combined with his amazing singing, song writing, and piano skills, it just makes these hilarious yet somewhat serious songs, talking about serious issues while also turning those issues into a comedy song is something Bo is amazing at, and even his older songs like this one are still really good, and I'm gonna be honest, whenever I hear an old song made by a popular UA-camr I usually don't like it, but somehow Bo Burnham has amazing old songs like this, and many others. I know nothing is perfect, but Bo is 100% an exception.
(I believe in the Zodiac Yeah, I do, I'm a Leo, I love Titanic Uh, this is something a little bit mor- Something a little bit morbidly ironic, my grandmother Uh, she was a Cancer and She was actually killed by a giant crab This is a song about the idea of irony So strap in!)

A water park has burned to the ground, and a A tow truck has broken down I always used to cry when I laughed And then I was raped by a clown Isn't that ironic? I was watching Al Gore on CNN He was talking and talking and talking and then Out of boredom, my pet polar bear shot himself Isn't that ironic? I dated an animal rights activist And one day, she got really pissed Because I was eating veal that was wrapped in "pita" bread ("PETA"? Fuck it) Isn't that I-R-O-N-I-C-I-N-O-R-I-R-O-N-I-C? I'm a stand up comic and I always sit and slouch And I got my girlfriend pregnant on my sterile uncle's "pull-out" couch Isn't that ironic? I-R-O-N-I-C Yeah, if everyday you play the board game Risk You've probably never taken a Risk in your life And Monopoly has far from a stranglehold on the board game market A little kid died from suffocation when he choked on a game piece from Operation And I can't grow a beard That one's not ironic, that one's just sad Bob Barker got all of my pets pregnant My grandfather had Alzheimer's And one day we were
I used to watch Friends over and over as a teenager and by the the time I left school I had no actual friends. Isn't that ironic? (and a little bit sad...)
When you mention this song in ELA and the only line you could think of to give the class an idea of what the songs about was “A little kid died from suffocation when he choked on a game piece from Operation.” ...
The first grandma joke was funny to me, because the german word for "cancer" means "krebs, and the german word for Crab, also means "Krebs". So she had cancer and got killed by a giant cancer
"...And I can't grow a beard. That was not Ironic, that was just sad."
Oh Bo, If you could see yourself now
i was about to comment this
Was going to say the same thing XD
I was about to say

He probably planned it

+Matt Toy (xperthief) I mean, the lyrics are right there so...

if you listen carefully at 2:59 you can hear someone say "That's stupid."

He didn’t sound like he was angry though is was more of a chuckle
Ally Sparks he sound stupid 😂😂
pretty sure he was saying "thats too good"
Ally Sparks ye
Even though he has taken a long break.. It still cracks me up and also very sad at the same time..
Colby & Sam not really a break lmao, he said on his twitter "im not dead, just working on the next thing." i mean correct me if im wrong :o
his next thing isnt a comedy show, or if it is, it isnt his.
He made a movie guys
what is the name? of the movie
Keffurd K 8th grade or something like that
Its so cute to hear him smile while singing
Jasmin McPines omg jasmin you’re here! your animatic is the reason i know about him, just wanna say, thank you for that :)
@Jack Pruett his little laughters u can hear from time to time
@Jack Pruett actually, your voice does sound different when you smile while singing, so yeah, you can hear someone smile
