History Irony / WebOriginal

** In the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' franchise, the term "flawless victory" is used to denote a victory where a fighter took no damage. [[spoiler:In Shao Kahn's battle with ''Franchise/StreetFighter''[='=]s Akuma, the Kahn uses it to declare his victory over Akuma -- despite the fact he did take punishment with Akuma, including a hole in the torso simlar to what [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Liu Kang inflicted upon him]].]]

* Website/{{Wikipedia}}'s "Things Wikipedia Is Not" page includes a link to an Outtakes page, which is sort of a JustForFun version of the normal one. One of the things on this Outtakes page is "Wikipedia is not Tv Tropes", with an edited version of the front page of this website. The front page of this site has since been rewritten, and no longer contains any of the phrases they parodied.

** DisasterDominoes is listed under ComedyTropes, but the [[DisasterDominoes/RealLife Real Life page]] is made up almost entirely of tragedies at best and literal disasters at worst. (The sinking of the ''Titanic'', the Chernobyl explosion, the Tenerife airport disaster...)

** In ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' canon (which ''Red Vs Blue'' is [[BroadStrokes loosely inspired by]]), the ability to wield an [[EnergyBlade Energy Sword]] is considered so impressive in [[ProudWarriorRace Elite society]] that anyone who can master one can mate with any female they desire. [[CasanovaWannabe Tucker]] can't pick up any woman to save his life. But he ''does'' [[MisterSeahorse get impregnated with an alien parasite!]]

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' can invoke this trope on certain occasions;
** Beacon Academy is a metaphorical beacon of hope where Huntsmen and Huntresses were trained to fight monsters. [[spoiler: At the end of Volume 3, it becomes a literal beacon for the very monsters they were trained to fight.]]
** At the beginning of the fourth Volume, Tyrian mocked Cinder for screwing up and losing her eye at the Battle of Beacon, but in his fight with Ruby and Qrow he ends up making the exact same mistake she did; he ignores Ruby to strike the distracted Qrow and Ruby chops off his stinger in return.
** In "Kuroyuri," Ren wanted to avoid the aforementioned town, so he wouldn't have to be reminded of what happened to him. Instead, the path he takes ends up at [[spoiler:the lair of the very creature that destroyed his home and family]]. The high vantage point gives him a clear view of the direction in which the Grimm is travelling: back to Kuroyuri, which is where Jaune and Ruby have taken the badly injured Qrow.
** In Volume 4, Weiss does all she can to get out of Atlas [[spoiler:after her father disinherits her for embarrassing him]]. At the start of Volume 6, she's not amused she has to go ''back'' to Atlas.
** When Jaune first joined Beacon Academy, he was a CasanovaWannabe who attempted to flirt with every girl he met. They all rejected or ignored his advances; Pyrrha was the one girl who was interested in him, but Jaune didn't realise it [[spoiler:until just before her death]]. In the episode "Sparks," his first job as an official Huntsman involves him guarding young children as they travel to school; this earns him a great deal of attention from local girls, who giggle and swoon in his presence, and mothers who keep giving him home-cooked casseroles in gratitude for his help. Now that he has the attention, he finds it awkward and embarrassing rather than flattering.
** Watts has spent Volume 7 carefully manipulating technology to ensure he and Tyrian can't be captured on any security footage and refusing to allow Tyrian to have a single base of operations because it increases the chances of them getting caught. However, [[spoiler:his decision to turn up at the Schnee Manor to talk to Jacques in the episode "Cordially Invited" results in him being captured on private security footage that he can't erase because Willow has secretly installed cameras in every room of the house to collect information on all of Jacques's activities]].
** The Enemy of Trust has ''several'':
*** [[spoiler:Leo served Salem because he was too terrified of opposing her]]. When [[spoiler:Oscar]] first tells Ironwood is okay to be afraid, Ironwood tells him he has no intention of ending up like [[spoiler:Leo]] and speculates if the key to defeating Salem is to sacrifice his humanity. Instead of [[spoiler:caving in to Salem, Ironwood shuts down his humanity and begins making cold decisions, such as abandoning Mantle to save Atlas, sacrificing the Winter Maiden's life to put the powers under his control, and arresting the heroes for opposing his decisions]]. During [[spoiler:his final confrontation with Oscar]], he tells him that he's become as dangerous as Salem. Ironwood [[spoiler:rescinds his friendship with Oscar, and shoots him]]. In the end, Ironwood got his wish: [[spoiler:he didn't become Leo, he became something much worse]].
*** James promised [[spoiler:Oscar]] when they first met and he learned that Ozpin was... uncooperative that together, they would get him to come back. Most of the general's interactions with [[spoiler:Oscar]] this volume were to jog Oz loose, either by mock combat or revisiting familiar places. In the end, [[spoiler:he does succeed in making Ozpin come back; right after he severs ties with him and nearly kills Oscar]].
*** In "Cordially Invited" Ironwood claimed that [[spoiler:Penny]] was completely under his control. [[spoiler:Penny's]] decision to [[spoiler:run off with Teams RWBY & JNPR]] proves that, no, she wasn't.

--> Jesus: "As much as I appreciate the irony that after three years of tentacle monsters violating nubile young women, otaku-trannies, and furry sex that it was an image of missionary position sex for the purpose of procreation that made our sponsors drop all their ads, the truth is that you've seriously jeopardized the continued hosting of this webcomic."

** [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-10-12 October 12, 2017]]: The toughs agree to go on a mission to salvage dead people to save them. But others are not pleased with the idea:\\
'''Ennesby''': But there are factions in the theatre of operations who would prefer the dead remain uh-resuscitated. \\

* Used often in ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater''. An example would be in [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2008/06/10/episode-1003-not-up-to-code/ this comic]] with a double dose of irony, first when Black Mage's prediction of the most dangerous thing in the dungeon being "a stairwell without adequate railing" being immediately proven wrong by a dozen dragons showing up, then a few panels later when the party tumbles down the aforementioned stairwell.
* In [[http://www.gpf-comics.com/archive/2004/07/16 this strip]] of ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'', Nick, who had a history of being a HorribleJudgeOfCharacter with regards to Trudy, finds several flaws in Trish's story and decides not to trust her. Meanwhile, Ki is weighing whether to trust Trish, and decides that perhaps being a trusting person like Nick is not a bad thing, and decides to trust Trish.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Heartcore}}'', each of the overfiends represent one of the SevenDeadlySins. Carval Volaster represents "Sloth", yet is the most hyper-active and confrontational of the overfiends. WordOfGod lampshades this in that "sloth" could either mean "physically inactive" (lazy) or "emotionally inactive" (apathetic). The former definition is not an accurate description of Carval, but the latter goes hand-in-hand with his MadBomber tendencies.

* ''WebVideo/AnalystBroniesReact'': Irony in slow roasted form is Applejack's favorite dish.
-->'''Thespio:''' Oh, it's gonna taste so good by the second act!

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Beacon Academy is a metaphorical beacon of hope where Huntsmen and Huntresses were trained to fight the Grimm. [[spoiler: At the end of Volume 3, it becomes a literal beacon for the very monsters they were trained to fight.]]

** [[spoiler:The crew of the [[ComicBook/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars Righteous Fury]] meet their ends by the hands of a justifiably furious Fox after killing Slippy]].

** According to the Counselor, the Reds and Blues were able to beat [[spoiler:the Meta]] because of [[ThePowerOfFriendship their bond]], something that [[MadScientist Project Freelancer]] could never achieve - [[TrueCompanions complete and total faith in each other]]. "The Triplets" - Freelancer Agents [[JumpedAtTheCall Ohio]], [[OnlySaneMan Iowa]], and [[TheDitz Idaho]] - were the only ones who could properly work together...and the Freelancers [[ReassignedToAntarctica abandoned them]].

* The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' episode of ''WebVideo/DemoReel'' had the openly BiTheWay Donnie trying to play the dudebro Sam in parody of said movie.

** The first victim of [[TheJuggernaut the Meta]] was [[DisneyVillainDeath thrown from a cliff]] after having their [=A.I.=] stolen. Later, he's disposed of [[spoiler:in the exact same manner, in the exact same place, effectively dying where he was "born."]] To top it all off, he was ''scared of heights.''

** DisasterDominoes is listed under ComedyTropes, but the Real Life folder is made up almost entirely of tragedies at best and literal disasters at worst. (The sinking of the ''Titanic'', the Chernobyl explosion, the Tenerife airport disaster...)

* Came up in one update by ''Website/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses'', when Doug explained that he [[ScheduleSlip wasn't getting videos out as fast]] because of problems with his computer; namely, that it was constantly playing audio from the movie ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}'' for no reason. That's right: ''a computer was haunted '''by the Ghostbusters'''''.

** Despite [[KnightInSourArmor Leonard Church]] being the OnlySaneMan of the ''entire'' [[DysfunctionJunction Blood Gulch Crew]] (at least for the first few seasons, and that's still putting his CloudCuckoolander tendencies aside), he's the only one who's [[spoiler:''actually gone insane'' - Twice, even!]]
** During [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles The Blood Gulch Chronicles]], [[TheDandy Donut]] [[LampshadeHanging wondered out loud why]] the Reds and Blues never tried to kill one another using the Sniper Rifle instead of using it as a glorified telescope. During [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy Season 11]], [[spoiler:this is exactly how Locus neutralizes him, Washington, and Sarge]].

* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Bunni and Theo discover that their memories of their wedding are fake and have a brief breakdown, especially in regards to Theo's broken vow of chastity. The events surrounding planning their new wedding (or more specifically, Bunni dodging responsibility for calling her mother) leads to the team discovering a black-ops immortality project in a slum. The irony is twofold: Not only were Bunni and Theo married by the people who erased their memories in a legal (albeit quick) ceremony, but the reason their memories were erased in the first place was because they discovered that there was a secret immortality project.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Beacon Academy is a metaphorical beacon of hope where Huntsmen and Huntresses were trained to fight monsters. [[spoiler: At the end of Volume 3, it becomes a literal beacon for the very monsters they were trained to fight.]]

** A user had a girlfriend who was a big fan of ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'' and downloaded a ''Little Mermaid'' screen saver for her. A month later, he discovered that the image from the screen saver was burned into the monitor glass, which is what screen savers are supposed to prevent.
