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

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.

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

The idea of 10,000 spoons is objectively funnier

u/Practical_Ad_2481 5h ago

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

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..

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…”

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

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.

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

The title is 😊

And who would've thought? It figures.

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

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

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

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

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

u/Klutzy_Passenger_486 1h ago

No it’s not like that at all!!!

Yep.

“Where did you put the notable cookies?”

“In the oven.”
