A surprisingly common category, we expected this one to be quite rare before we started the site...

Irony is an oft-misunderstood concept, especially by our friends across the Atlantic :-)
It is undeniably popular amongst film makers though, and also with the people who submit deaths.

[Personally I think people are far too eager to assign deaths to this category, and I go through every now and again and purge the ones which are simply not unusually ironic at all - Old Bluffer]

Also, some deaths are unintentionally ironic and they will be listed here as well.

The icon for this category is Mouseburger's loving homage to British TV's "Catchphrase" (he was Roy Walker's latin teacher for several terms).
