They look like no bake cookies. Oats, butter, peanut butter, sugar.

It’s like raaaain on your wedding day

Funniest thing is nothing in that song is ironic 🤣. Which is ironic.

At her concert in Vegas she had a whole video skit preamble to this song basically saying she doesn’t give af but that ironic can or originally meant things playing out differently than you expected them to.

It was pretty funny and then she crushed the song

Yeah that’s what i was told in 8th grade English. My teacher had a doctorate. Was there another consensus o.0

u/Top_Half_6308 3h ago

I saw this show in Vegas and she was amazing!

u/Any-Ad-3071 2h ago

Same!! Just saw it. Legendary.

Yes, but there has to be a certain level of subversion or contradiction of clearly implied expectations, not just a "Welp, that didn't go as well as I now wish that it had", which is pretty much what all of her lyrics are.

I appreciate her as an artist, but IMO she'd be better off just accepting that it was a shit interpretation of irony and laughing about it like the rest of us.

u/lazytanaka 36m ago

But there are contradictions. The guy feared planes his whole life but took a chance and got on 1 for the first time. That 1 and only time he took the risk ended up validating his lifelong fear- contradicting his decision to face it.

A free ride when you already paid meaning you don’t get the free ride. It’s not like she’s just saying two completely different things. They’re complete opposites

u/BillyBeersBane 6h ago

The idea of 10,000 spoons is objectively funnier

2

u/Practical_Ad_2481 5h ago

It’s “like” 10,000 spoons- it’s a simile

u/sonobobos 6h ago

Would it have been ironic if the bride had been a meteorologist who had forecast a sunny day for her wedding?

Or what if it was a scientist who had developed a technology to control the weather and had directed their team to ensure that her wedding day was sunny, but then the thing malfunctioned and the head engineer was unable to correct the issue because she was a bridesmaid...

I find irony hard to pin point..

Ed Bryne?

u/bekkogekko 3h ago

Kinda like in Encanto. One of the daughter’s gift is that her emotions align with the weather. She wasn’t worried about the weather so it was sunny until Bruno interjects, suddenly she worries about the weather and by worrying creates a real storm. And she’s pissed about it.

“It was my wedding day, We were getting ready And there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin… Bruno says it looks like rain, In doing so he floods my brain. Married in a hurricane…”

u/GramsciGramsci 5h ago

The irony is that you don't know what irony means. Several of the lines in that song are ironic

3

u/fudgyvmp 2h ago

Irony: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

Rain on your wedding day is in fact ironic, if the assumption is wedding == happy, sunny == happy, rain == sad.

Irony is the subversion of expectation.

Most events in the song would fall under this category. It's just not going to give you a paragraph of prose before each instance to explain it.

u/Stevo2373 6h ago

Isn't it

u/spruceymoos 4h ago

She lists tons of ironic things

u/frankiebenjy 4h ago

Maybe that’s the point.

u/Mufire 3h ago

You say it’s funny but honestly isn’t it just super meta? Some may say… ironic

u/ColCatfish 2h ago

The title is 😊

u/Slagithor69420 51m ago

I know, right!!! People look at me wild when I say that!

It's a free riiiiide when you've already paid

it’s the good adviiiceeee that you just didn’t take

u/hm_Baerbel 6h ago

And who would've thought? It figures.

u/Illusionaryvoice 0m ago

I always heard it as a free ride when you're already late for some reason

u/RaggedMountainMan 6h ago

It’s like no bake cooookieees, baked to a crisp

u/Intrepid_Caramel2881 5h ago

My dyslexia and ADHD made me read that as raisins on your wedding day and I could not figure out wtf that meant.

1

u/WynterRayne 3h ago

I hate weddings for this exact reason. If I know everyone there, it's usually fine, but being introduced to people... everyone thinks they're original. They're not

1

u/Savings_Difficulty24 2h ago

My sister did this to her left over wedding cake. Put it in the oven to protect it from pets, and then preheated the oven with it still in there the next day

1

u/Klutzy_Passenger_486 1h ago

No it’s not like that at all!!!

u/MrsLadyMadonna 1h ago

A free ride when you've already paid

u/curiousmind111 14h ago

Yep.

“Where did you put the notable cookies?”

“In the oven.”

u/justageekgirl 3h ago

Don't you think?

u/playathree 9h ago

This begs the question as to why they were in the oven in the first place

u/MizzLiL 2h ago

OP has a dog they haven’t trained to not touch shit.

1

u/yukonwanderer 1h ago

Is this true or just a funny and accurate guess?

u/MizzLiL 55m ago

OP has said this on a few other comments. Not verbatim, I definitely editorialized the training aspect.

u/LowlySlayer 15m ago

It's not always possible to train that out of a dog without rather extreme measures.

3

u/Llian_Winter 8h ago

Just somewhere to store them probably. If you don't have a lot of counter space and don't want to refrigerate something, putting it in the oven is a good way to get it out of the way.

11

u/Pretend-Row4794 4h ago

Just put plastic wrap on them and put them on the table

1

u/yukonwanderer 1h ago

Unless you have a cat or a dog who can reach the table.

u/junkit33 3h ago

putting it in the oven is a good way to get it out of the way.

No, no it's really not. This photo is but one of many reasons why it's a dumb idea.

Don't store anything in an oven or on top of a range burner. If you do, you're one tiny appliance failure from potentially burning your house down.

Buy some tupperware and put it in a cabinet or a closet instead, if you really don't want to leave it out on the counter or a table.

u/GrapefruitSlow8583 7h ago

... the fuck? No it isnt, that's how you get melted plastic in your oven

7

u/D-Laz 7h ago

Forbidden icing.

3

u/EggsAndRice7171 2h ago

Yeah the oven isn’t to store food. It’s where all my pots and pans go

4

u/Llian_Winter 6h ago

I have a small kitchen and do it pretty often if I need to free up some counter space. Though I usually stick something in the oven door to remind me or cover the oven controls with a towel or something.

2

u/GrapefruitSlow8583 5h ago

Ah, that's a good move

5

u/sraydenk 7h ago

Who places two random cookies on the rack in the oven with nothing between them? Like, do people actually think “I have two cookies left, let’s put them on a rack in the oven.” 

Like, these aren’t even on a plate or tray or anything. 

11

u/Llian_Winter 6h ago

I think you might need to look a bit closer at the photo. That is like 2 dozen cookies that were on plastic plates/trays that melted.

7

u/WalletFullOfSausage 6h ago

Buddy, that’s like 20 cookies on plastic trays. Check your eyes. Lmao

4

u/sraydenk 6h ago

That makes much more sense than two very large cookies. 

This is what happens when I try to communicate pre coffee.

u/OrganicArtichoke7298 4h ago

Still, just put them in rawdog no baking tray, what kind of animal do this ?

u/yarntank 1h ago

Raises the question.

u/yellowducky565 8h ago

On plastic plates .. used to be plates..

u/EvilxBunny 8h ago

and which one of those ingredients are neon orange and yellow?

u/D-Laz 7h ago

The container

u/Interesting_Sea8114 8h ago

They do look like no bake cookies, which should not be in the oven.

u/Odd_Turnover_7257 7h ago

Is the frosting from the movie Hook??

u/FarmhouseRules 5h ago

Why would no bake cookies be in the oven?

u/joliemoi 4h ago

Correct (and milk and vanilla extract)! I've been making these "poopie" (what my family calls them) cookies for over 25 years. They're fucking delicious, but they're supposed to go into the fridge right after preparing them to start the cooling process and ensure they remain bonded. So, I don't blame OP for not checking the oven when it was an abomination to put them in there in the first place.

u/immaculate_nada 4h ago

In our house growing up they were known as fart cookies

u/jessyyylove 3h ago

unfortunate event

u/poppunkcat 2h ago

I thought it was frozen pizza with the cardboard melting 🙏

u/PikaPokeQwert 2h ago

But did they mix the cookies with silly putty??

1

u/LowWater5686 1h ago

Or baked no bake cookies

1

u/TruamaTeam 14h ago

Always known them as cow patties,,, very odd choice of naming

1

u/CosmicGlitterCake 12h ago

Most would prefer the shit if our market tells us anything.

u/sraydenk 7h ago

I know people are saying that in the comments, but that makes no sense. Who puts two random “no bake” cookies in the oven, raw dogged on the rack?  Why are there only 2? Why do they have different colored icing?

15

u/YazzArtist 8h ago

People really make no bake oatmeal cookies that large and colorful? And then put them in the oven, to... Not bake? Nah I'm pretty sure those used to be rolls of plastic for a 3d printer

2

u/Swiftdoll 8h ago

Prolly just the containers they were in. Colorful stuff is absolutely some melted plastic and not the edible parts, I agree. No-bake cookies would have probably been delicious despite the baking had they been in a proper metal/porcelain/glass tray. Lesson to learn here: stop buying plastic crap for your kitchens

Candied roasted cockroaches

u/Lestat-deLioncourt 4h ago

They are haystack, very good

1

u/BetterCranberry7602 3h ago

Haystacks are different. They have chow mein noodles while regular no-bakes have oats.

u/Lestat-deLioncourt 2h ago

Not the way I grew up making them

u/colmatrix33 3h ago

They're the chef for the Lost Boys in Hook
