50 Of The Most Ironic Images That Show The Universe Has A Great Sense Of Humor (New Pics)
Some days, you can’t help but feel that the universe not only works in mysterious ways but also has a great sense of humor. Believing that people will act a certain way or signs will commit to what they are saying, you often don’t expect they’ll do the exact opposite. And that’s what makes it so ludicrous.
The world is full of unpredicted things, you just have to keep your eyes open. From manually cleaning an iRobot store to humorous health inspection awards, people who stumbled upon something so accidentally ironic just had to take a picture and share it with the whole web.
Bored Panda has scoured the internet and compiled a list of some of the finest ironic moments for you to enjoy. So get ready to have a good laugh and upvote your favorite ones! And if you’re hungry for some more hilarious situations, be sure to check out our previous posts right here and here.

Shell And Cif, The Destroyers Of Planets, Eliminators Of Lifeforms
the universe was trying to start a riot among the people who don't know global warming is not a hoax.
Load More Replies...It is a guerrilla art poster, not actually real ads by either company.
Load More Replies...It's definitely fake. Having worked in branding I know that this isn't the correct "on brand" logos for these companies (which they would never do) probably the only way the prankster is getting away with it as not using their current legal branding.... pretty clever
I'm guessing they get away with it because they strike silently and swiftly and probably have some sympathizers among the transit agency who wouldn't openly defy such large companies but certainly aren't going to go out of their way to help these companies.
Load More Replies...This is too accurate...not only Shell...but big corporations in general.
Oh The Irony
This Year Thousands Of Men Will Die From Stubbornness
Stubbornnesses, tell me about it. My mother, once a teacher, her life saying is 'it came spontaneously, it will go spontaneously'. Was cross with me because I sent her to her GP when she stepped in an old rusty nail.
My mom broke a bone in her hip (didn't know it was broken at the time) and didn't want to go to ER. She was home with that broken leg almost a week, then finally a doctor told her to go to ER. Moms can be badass but very stubborn

Funny story the guy who sprayed that on the bottom fell off and no longer is with us
Everyone loves a delicious bit of irony from time to time. When we stumble upon these unexpected moments, they get easily stuck in our heads—after all, we know irony when we see it. But when it comes to defining the term and expressing it with words, many people have difficulties.
The most basic definition of this term is a conflict between what’s expected and what occurs. To learn more about irony and its humorous nature, we reached out to Roger J. Kreuz, Ph.D., a professor of psychology and an associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Memphis.
In his recent book, Irony and Sarcasm, Kreuz goes into great detail in explaining how and why these words “are two of the most misused, misapplied, and misunderstood words in our conversational lexicon.”
I'm No Rocket Surgeon But
The phrase is actually 'a case in point' not 'point and case'. Is this ironic? (Definition of case in point an instance or example that illustrates what is being discussed)
Load More Replies...Does anti-social distancing count? I was avoiding people long before anyone had heard of COVID. I'm reel smart!
Your politics is the definition of logical fallacy. You attack the other person, not their argument. That's what we call Ad Hominem
Load More Replies...One co-worker wears a mask at work as required but will take it off in other businesses where they see employees not wearing masks. Thinks masks don't help. It seems like they're not helping because so many people refuse to freaking wear one when they should.
I'm a begging science to discover a way to make "STUPID" cause agonizing pain... sure would make it more efficient for weeding out the "jean-yus" anti masker(s) !!

At Least Irony Isn't Made In China
Out of curiosity, what does “new acc” mean?
Load More Replies...Just like Trump having his Make America Great Again hats made in Vietnam.
I was just going to comment about that! And wasn't there a bunch of other merchandise he had that was actually made in China? I loved it when Ivanka's clothing line went down the drain too, that was priceless!
Load More Replies...The makers simply refuse to recognize the historical existence of Vermont.
Load More Replies...American hates anything that is made in China, yet they keep on buying things from China because it is cheaper.
Yea, no one accused us of being aware of where our stuff comes from a long as it's cheap.... A lot of Americans can't afford to.
Load More Replies...While many of us instinctively understand when a situation is ironic, it can be hard to articulate it. The professor said that the reason behind this is that “the perception of irony is triggered by violations of implicit assumptions that we have about the world and how it is supposed to work.”
“In most cases, we aren’t even aware of these assumptions until we encounter something incongruous or peculiar that contradicts our expectations,” he added. Kreuz provided a couple of examples:
- You encounter a sign with a misspelling in front of a store. Not a big deal – mistakes happen. Not irony.
- You see a sign in front of a school. Many schools have such signs, so nothing surprising about that. Not irony.
- You see a sign in front of a school that reads “We are committed to excellense.” Educators are supposed to know how to spell, so the juxtaposition of the message, the mistake, and its very public location triggers a sense of irony.
What If?
I’m sorry, but this is inconsiderate. Many people who state their religion as an excuse and do horrible things are indeed Christian, but it’s not a religion-based thing, every religion has those kinds of psychos. Christianity does not deserve to be put down like this and be called a lie; calling someone’s beliefs and integrity a lie is not the way to building equality between religions and cultures. Please, let’s try to accept other cultures instead of bashing down the ones of others.
The problem with Christianity, at least here in the US, is that it is the religion trying legislate morality and force their ethics onto our society via political means. There is no other religion doing that on a nationwide scale. Francis of Assisi is attributed as saying "Preach the gospel at all times. Use words if necessary." It seems as if most Christians these days do the reverse.
Load More Replies...Wtf is wrong with y’all? Yes, I get it, this church was stupid to put up this sign. Yes, I get it, some Christians can be hateful and annoyingly agnostic. Becoming a hater yourself doesn’t help the situation. Religiophobes (haters who discriminate based on religion) are no better than racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, ableists, and any other hateful prejudiced low-lifes on this planet. You’ve now outed yourself as a hater. Congrats.
Oh my god! Not homophones! But seriously - you are comparing people being discriminated against because of WHO THEY PHYSICALLY ARE vs. people being discriminated against because of believing in and letting their life be ruled by a fairy tale. I give the same respect to people who are fanatics about Harry Potter or Donald Trump's made-up worlds.
Load More Replies...If you didn’t, we can make sure you do for a minimal fee of at least 10% of your income.
Put this on a mosque or Hindu temple, etc. and it would be called bad taste to make fun of it.
That’s kind of the point, you won’t find this sign on a mosque or a temple.
Load More Replies...I can see how this would be funny to a certain group of people. But posting it on here, as if everyone will find it funny feels insensitive. However, I feel fine when these posts make fun of flat earthers, so, I dunno. Maybe I'm hypocritical, and we all just have to suck it up.
Wow. Christianity is such an important part of many peoples cultures and ethnic identities. I can’t believe how much hate there is on boredpanda sometimes…just because you don’t believe it yourself doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
But just because you believe it does not mean it's true. Goes both ways.
Load More Replies...I stopped believing that lie at age 7, sat in a freezing Church (Eversley, Hampshire) listening to a fatuous grown-up tell me god was everywhere if I needed to talk to him! "Yeah? So why drag me here to this fridge you built, fŭckwit?"
Your choice and you have a right to believe what you believe. No need to hate ppl.
Load More Replies...I didn't interpret this as "Christianity is a lie" but as "there is no God". So not slagging on Christians here, more like all religions.
Man Experiences Irony, 1966
I think he's just tired. (Sorry if these jokes fell flat!)
Load More Replies...I ran out of petrol on a freeway once and the first person to pull up and see if I needed help was a guy driving a petrol tanker. Which of course he couldn't take petrol from.

Be careful not to throw your back out while doing so...
Load More Replies...I always find it amusing the Hemorrhoid care items are on the bottom two shelves. I usually deliberately say they're on/near the bottom.
My local walmart had the prenatal vitamins on the bottom shelf also. Trying to get those while 8 months pregnant was great.
It's not unusual nowadays - none or less thought is put into everything !
Handle Broke
It looks like they painted a mug that already had the handle broken off as a joke. The breakline is the same color as the neck.
Load More Replies...They even have the paints to show they painted that on after it broke.
Guys, I think they were making a one ear-ed Van Gogh mug and in the process, broke off the handle/ear. There in lies the irony.
Van Gogh had his ear cut off and the handle is like the ear.
Load More Replies...Yes and you wrote this comment just to get online also 😆
Load More Replies...“In a similar way, a destroyed book is not ironic, and a book about dog training isn’t either,” the professor continued. But if you juxtapose them and see Dog Training for Dummies being destroyed by your furry four-legged friend: “Voilà, irony!”
One thing that many people tend to mix up is verbal irony and sarcasm. These two words often are used interchangeably, yet they’re not the same. “Irony is often triggered by situations and involves incongruity, juxtaposition, and unexpectedness. Sarcasm, on the other hand, is typically verbal,” Kreuz told Bored Panda.
“It often makes use of irony to criticize someone else, or to be humorous. But not all sarcasm involves irony, which is why people are often confused about these terms.”
Things Have Gone Wrong Somewhere
This might look funny but only 50 percent went wrong, if that. I will say that dogs should not be in strollers and shouldn't be bred to the point where they are not dogs anymore. But kids on a leash - that is a good thing! It makes the outings much safer. Such small kids, even if very well behaved and disciplined don't yet have a brain yet that can compute consequences. The world is fast and dangerous. The leash can make sure they never disappear on you when for 2 seconds you're looking at what the other one is doing, and can't run ahead enough to be hit by a car. I used to be a nanny and I refused to take the 3 year old out until I was given one of these. I was still holding her hand and she was a very good little lady, but it made me feel safer to know that she can't just dart out on a whim as we're crossing a million roads to school.
I’ve got a pushchair for my arthritic dog, it means he doesn’t miss out.
I cared for end of life dogs, and the ones who were not well enough to walk on their own got stroller outings to enrich their lives. I took anyone who felt well enough on short outings every day. I also put warm clothes on some of them who had trouble regulating body temp. Did people think I was crazy? Yes. Did I care? NO.
Forgive me for asking but what is the problem with safety reins for the children?
Apparently some Karens got their fweelings hurt because someone used their senses when taking their kids out and about, instead of just letting them roam and risk losing them
Load More Replies...Don't hate on dogs. Maybe she's a senior dog who needs mobility assistance, but still likes to be out and about with her person. And some small children should definately be kept on leashes when out in public. Parents can't hold onto them every second and still shop, and some of the kids have less impulse control than a poodle.
I used to enjoy this site and the comments. But some of you are just nasty, rude and disgusting. Calling someone a b***h for having a different opinion, being rude and personal for the same reason. Some of you need to grow the hell up and get some manners
Can only agree - with so many stories on BP you only get to hear one side of the story. Hear the other side and maybe make a different comment.
Load More Replies...i dont see nothing wrong just walking the animals and strolling the baby
Yes, this is ironic, but the dog looks like it might be a show dog, or perhaps it's elderly. Plus being in the stroller, it's not gonna have an 'accident' in the store! And keeping a kid on a leash makes total sense - my grandson is one who needed to be leashed in public. He would see something interesting & dart away fast enough to make your head spin. And just a few years ago in my hometown, a 4 year old boy broke away from his dad, ran into the street & was hit by a delivery truck & killed instantly. Right in front of the dad - how does anyone ever recover from that?
Anti-Chew Spray
He's certainly not chewing anything else, so it's working.
Load More Replies...It's clearly working, as the dog no longer chews furniture if you buy this product.
If the adult teeth are coming through, nothing will stop the chewing, until they are through
At which point the dog is in for a BIG surprise. After that the stuff will work so well he won't even come in the house when it is used.
Load More Replies...Yeah, none of that stuff deters my dog, either. I tried some spray to get him to stop licking his paws and he would immediately lick the spot clean of the stuff.
i'd call the people who made this and just start laughing like a maniac and hang up lol
#2 and should have sprayed the stuff on his certificate.
Load More Replies...On the flip side, my MIL sprayed Rex the Wonderdog with Dog Off. He was going nuts, poor thing. Many baths later he was still afraid of my MIL. Can't say that I blame him.
I have several different bottles of stuff I bought trying to keep my dogs off my books. They chewed on most of them too. I think some dogs just LOVE bitter apple.
Found This Old Apple Slogan. Times Sure Have Changed
The last line in red is a lie too! It isn't even a real apple!
Load More Replies...I’m dyslexic…I first read does less, costs more. So maybe I read the actual truth?
Does cost. Always the same, just different package, more or less. It's that simple.
And talking about why many of us find it comical when we come across an ironic sign, poster, or image, Kreuz mentioned that we think it’s amusing because it’s almost like solving a puzzle. “When we spot the incongruity, we can be amused, and then perhaps consider ourselves to be a little superior compared to those who don’t ’get the joke.’”
Looking through this list, you can’t help but feel reminded to expect the unexpected and chuckle at the ups and downs of life. After all, ironic billboards, posters, and situations are lurking all around us, just waiting to be captured and shared with people in great need of a laugh or two.

Noticed Our Stroller Felt A Little Weird, Found Out There’s A Pin Stuck In The Tire. The Pin Is Very Ironic
I would pay to have a sticker like that so when I take my kid out in their stroller, I keep seeing it. Like a little reminder that i'll get through the day.
Even better was a pizza place hosting a pro-trump block party and the owner was wearing “not today satan” shirt and when I told him that’s from a gay Cuban drag queen (and NOT a religious statement) the sheer look of terror that crossed their face was priceless!
Finding A Way
He must have thought he could get away with driving like he does on Rainbow Road in Mario Kart. It's the only explanation for such a crazy stunt.
Load More Replies...I don't think it counts as irony if it's true. They DID find a new way. It's not a good way, but it's a new one.
I agree, but you could also say "no, they got stuck, so it wasn't a new way"
Load More Replies...boss we found a shortcut that will take us 20 minutes more than the orginal route
Poor choice of picture. If you look at where this truck is, plus all the snow on the ground, it appears to have skidded off the road and down this hill, landing where the tree line starts. In other words, a road accident. Hope the driver, and any passengers if there were any, weren’t hurt.
Obviously these people are just doing their jobs. These "new ways" don't necessarily have to be effective, per se...
Thank You For Driving Carefully
No sorry, not funny . This is actually really sad. Not sure the driver still alive. ( yeah I know he is probably the cause of this )
No argument here. But it's the irony of the sign that's humorous.

The thing is, people don't realize the cockroaches usually ride in on the customer then stick around. Cockroaches natural habitat is in the grass and leaves and when everyone mows and weed eat they take flight and end up where they their home won't be disturbed as frequently. Doesn't mean the business/restaurant/home is dirty; it means it was convenient.
Y'all, that's a water bug, which is a type of cockroach, but not the German variety that you should be worried about. Inside or out, it's not a problem.

For Christmas 2019, My Boss Gifted Us With 1 Work From Home Day In 2020
Yes, they folded it and shoved it up the boss's a**e!
Load More Replies...Some people didn't quit.In my case, I worked at a hospital for 7 years and had a great job. But I was one of the senior people in my position. When the pandemic first started, everything shut down but the sickness had not spread to our area so the hospital was pretty much empty. The government allowed businesses to lay off and permanently let people go without penalty (they would otherwise have to pay unemployment). So many places used that as an excuse to cut costs. I was one of 6 fired. I also know of at least 20 other people in my position who had the same thing happen. These are not menial jobs. I have 2 doctorates and was high-paid, along with 23 years of medical practice. Getting another job in my city has proven almost impossible so I decided to retire early (I'm 52). Other people cannot go back to work because of lack of childcare. Over 40% of childcare centers closed and never re-opened. People have no place to take their children. Hope this helps with understanding.
Load More Replies...We used that card the entire year and still haven't gone back to the office.

Earth Day Run Irony
Hey!!! This is George R. Brown convention center in downtown Houston. People hand out cups of water to runners. The runners typically toss them all in the same spot for easy clean up! This is taken out of context. What do you want the runners to do?
Load More Replies...I'm sure the organisers did a sweep and recycle after the event. It's just convenient for the nature of the run, and then they make things right. Not exactly a difficult concept to comprehend.
Lol exactly, this is a good example of ignorance, not irony
Load More Replies...Collected and recycled later? Probably. But recycling is the LAST in the chain after reduce and reuse. You should recycle things you cannot usefully avoid owning and which can't be used again. If you can just not do this at all then that's way higher up the chain of good practice than doing it anyway then crowing about recycling. Also, wind exists. Many cups will blow into private residences and waterways too.
Should they carry their cups on the whole 26 mile run?
Load More Replies...you should see the aftermath of a environmentalist rally like after the Dakota Pipeline Protests, the cleanup was massive from the protesters ( DAPL-Garbage.jpg
NoDAPLcamp.jpg
) and you should see after Earth Day rallies NYC or DC how bad it is.
This really isn’t ironic. This is planned for and happens at all races and it will be cleaned up
The hell they running for? What's the logic? Do a clean up of some dirty area or something
These marathons are for raising funds to pay for trash bags, gloves, & disposal fees for the groups who do go out & do clean ups.
Load More Replies...This doesn't belong here. Don't you know all the trash is collected and recycled when the run is finished? Why would you think they'll just leave it there?
Why can't they drop the trash into a basket as they walk/run by? Is that so difficult? Seems easier than running.
Load More Replies...In a marathon that's how it's done. You can't run 26 miles holding onto 15 cups. The organizers collect all of the cups after the event.
The earth day marathon and basically any public outdoor event in my town uses biodegradable cups with seeds embedded in the cup walls, and they take special care to make sure they don't introduce any invasive plant species, the bees really love all the wild flowers.
Well Isn’t That Ironic
*puts these in my printer, runs out of magenta immediately, buys new of these, print heads are misaligned, i waste all the cyan doing the test thing, i buy more of these, they're incompatible because they have drm somehow, i give up and throw my printer into an active volcano*
You have to buy three - this adds up to more than the cost of the printer!
For a while we contemplated just buying a new machine every.time we ran out of ink. Especially after we also spent a fortune in printer head cleaner kits. And then we decided that greyscale suited our needs and haven't gone back.
Load More Replies...I bought a color laser almost a decade ago, moved it twice and I am just now running out of ink for the first time (maybe possibly the second, I honestly can't remember). Less than $500 new. The vast bulk of inkjets aren't printers, they are trash generating money transfer scams.
Load More Replies...If you're willing and the current market allows for you, consider refilling ink cartridges. I'd have to pay at least $120 US for a full set of new cartridges, while I've spent around the same amount for quality supplies to refill those cartridges at least 5 times over, and it works. HP printers of all levels suck for doing this, while there are Canon and other-brand printers which are easier to deal with. Research and study it, and you'll save the agony of paying $50 or more for a single ink cartridge. It's saved me hundreds of dollars so far.

Finally A Hand Dryer That Works Properly
this are bacterial feeding centers. think they have been put out of commission everywhere due to pandemic
I usually skip the air dryer and go directly to wiping my hands on my pants.
Same here! And now that I carry my hand sanitizer spray everywhere, I wash my hands with soap & water, then shake off the water & spray with the alcohol based sanitizer & my hands get dry faster.
Load More Replies...And the worst thing about them is that they don’t dry your hands properly. I don’t know if they have any individual settings where the timer can be programmed on installation, or if it’s just a default timer, but they always stop just about 10 seconds before my hands are actually dry enough. (And they then take a while to restart.)
The worst thing about Blade dryers is that they blow the bacteria around in the air. These devices blow the bacteria farther distances than regular air hand dryers. Paper towels at least keep bacterial spread to a minimum while sacrificing resources. The only thing worse than the Blade dryer is the old cloth band towel machines of the 1960s that were never laundered. Far better to take the time to let your wet hands air dry.

Nothing Written In Stone
The highlighted letters are an anagram - Initio - This adverb was adopted at the beginning of the 17th century directly from Latin, where it translates as "from the beginning." (Initio is a form of the noun initium, meaning "beginning," which gave rise to such English words as initial, initiate, and initiative.)
Neat idea but the letters being out of order is gonna make it impossible for anyone without prior knowledge to get it.

Load More Replies...The Definition Of Irony: My Neighbor's Smoke Alarm Spontaneously Burst Into Flames
How? Smoke detectors are battery operated aren't they, did the batteries ignite somehow?
Many smoke detectors are dual-powered. The mains power circuit is very simple for cost reasons: a capacitor is used together with a current limiting resistor and a zener diode to produce a low voltage for the detector. When zener diodes fail, they usually fail short-circuit and the current overload turns the resistor and capacitor into magic smoke.
