History Irony / WebOriginal

** 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, except for one whose feelings Jaune didn't recognize until it was too late. In Volume 7, his first job as a professional Huntsman is to protect young children as they travel to school; all the mothers find this incredibly attractive and constantly flirt with him, such as one blushing mother who keeps giving him home-cooked casseroles. Now that he finally has lots of female attention, he doesn't enjoy it, finding it awkward and embarrassing instead.

** When Oscar first tells Ironwood that it's okay to be afraid, Ironwood tells him he has no intention of ending up a coward like Leo; he wonders if the key to defeating Salem is to sacrifice his humanity so that he doesn't have to feel fear at all. [[spoiler:Instead of caving in to Salem the way the terrified Leo did, 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 his final confrontation with Oscar, Oscar tells him that he's become as dangerous as Salem. Ironwood rescinds his friendship with Oscar, and shoots him. In the end, Ironwood got his wish: he didn't become Leo, he became something much worse.]]

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vxp_Lj2b-E "Things I Found Stupid About School"]] by ''WebVideo/GradeAUnderA'', the first point he makes is that making students write essay that are longer than they need to be, because there's a point where students will write unnecessary things to take up space, instead of being quick and concise - when Grade finishes, he admits that he spent an awfully long time complaining about being concise.

* ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'' puts a number of philosophies under the umbrella of "communism". One of those in UsefulNotes/{{Objectivism}}.

* The tile story of the ''WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou'' episode "This is Your Drugs on Brain" involves a man who stole a brain so he could use the formaldehyde it was preserved in to get high. Nash can't help but point out the irony of someone who donated their body to help make people smarter, only for it to be used in a way that literally makes someone stupider.

** On his Amirable Animation review of the ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Land Before Swine", he praises the fact that, throught the episode, characters like Grunkle Stan, Soos and Old Man McGucket actually suffer consequences for the stupid decisions that they make. As the show progressed, a very common complaint was that Mabel constantly got away scot-free with her selfish behaviour and the writing staff, if anything, [[TookALevelInJerkass only made the situation worse]], specially on the finale. What's more ironic? The one who called out Grunkle Stan on the reviewed episode WAS Mabel herself.

* In 2020, [=YouTube=] started marking videos as either "Made for kids" or "Not made for kids" in an effort to meet with COPPA regulations and keep children from seeing adult videos. Thing is, the update has resulted in many extremely graphic videos clearly not meant for children being recommended for children. Even a '''WHOLE''' channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SundanceNow "Sundance Now"]] had all of its videos flagged as such. One of the videos is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO0abB6gJEw a trailer of a film rated NC-17 by the MPAA]]. The irony is that in their attempt to make it less likely for children to see adult material, they actually made it much more likely.

** A user had a girlfriend who was a big fan of ''WesternAnimation/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.

* Rain from ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'' hates rain.

* In ''WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter'''s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFgY8iq0BZo review of]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Breadwinners}} "Love Loaf"]], he proclaimed that Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} was no longer one of the [[Creator/CartoonNetwork big]] [[Creator/DisneyXD three]] kid's networks due to its string of terrible shows and that Creator/TheHub has taken its place in that spot. Within two years of making that video, The Hub has imploded into Discovery Family and only seems to have [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic one very popular show]] still airing while Nickelodeon has seen a noticeable [[WinBackTheCrowd resurgence in quality]] with shows like ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBeaks'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', both of which he likes.

** 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 from Akuma, including a hole in the torso simliar to what [[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Liu Kang inflicted upon him]].]]

* Wiki/{{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.

** "Flash VS Sonic" is a battle between two speedsters, so one would expect it to come down to whoever's faster, right? Well, as Wiz points out in the post-fight analysis, the two combatants both possess speed that goes BeyondTheImpossible, with such feats as The Flash outrunning instant teleportation and Sonic being able to MoveInTheFrozenTime, making it impossible to determine which of the two is faster. So, in this battle of speed, speed actually ended up being a non-issue in determining who won.

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'':
** During [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheBloodGulchChronicles The Blood Gulch Chronicles]], [[TheDandy Donut]] [[LampshadeHanging wonders out loud why]] the Reds and Blues never try to kill one another when using the SniperRifle instead of only using it as a glorified telescope. During [[Machinima/RedVsBlueTheChorusTrilogy Season 11]], [[spoiler:this is exactly how [[ConsummateProfessional Locus]] neutralizes him, Washington, Sarge, and Lopez]].

* On Wiki/ThisVeryWiki:

** [[invoked]] On more of a metatextual level, the episodes "The Not So Good Ol' Days" and "Self-Fulfilling Odyssey" from ''Singularity'' were both highly praised, but for the qualities normally expected to be seen with the other episode. To be more specific, the former was written by Miles Luna (who has a well-deserved reputation in the greater Creator/RoosterTeeth fandom for his skill at writing [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] and emotionally charged stories) and the latter was written by Jason Weight (who, while being another great writer like Luna, has had more praise given to his skill in writing [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments comedic]] moments over tragic and/or [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments comforting]] scenes). When the two episodes came out, they then both received a ''very'' positive reception, but the reception in question was "opposite" to what most people were expecting - "The Not So Good Ol' Days," while still having its highly emotional moments, is often considered to be one of the funniest episodes in the entire series (Wash's NotSoAboveItAll SkywardScream over how he CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot fell ''very'' quickly into MemeticMutation), while "Self-Fulfilling Odyssey", while still hilarious, was widely hailed for its emotional scenes (such as [[spoiler:Wash and Carolina's touching apology to each other]] and Caboose's surprisingly heart-wrenching and serious discussion about grief) and is thought of as one of the most emotionally-charged episodes of the whole series.

** In ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' canon (which ''Red Vs Blue'' is [[BroadStrokes loosely inspired by]]), the ability to wield an [[LaserBlade 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!]]
*** Tucker also has the irony of failing to score with [[ReallyGetsAround the very liberated Sister]] and downright putting her off him.

** 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 own {{Cloudcuckoolander}} tendencies aside), he's the only one who's [[spoiler:''actually gone insane'' - Twice, even!]]

** In the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' franchise, the term "flawless victory" is used to denote a victory where a fighter took no damage.
