Some situations in life are so ironic, you might not know whether to laugh or to cry. But here at Bored Panda, we usually opt for the former, so today we’re focusing on some of the funniest instances of irony people have managed to catch on camera.
Covering all sorts of scenarios, from cycling on roads not meant for cycling, to Domino’s delivery mopeds falling like dominoes, and ironic fire alarms, among other things, the pictures ought to make you giggle; or facepalm. So, if you are looking to unwind with some amusing internet content, scroll down to find the irony-drenched pics on the list below, and make sure to upvote your favorites!

He Doesn’t Understand Irony
I hate it when journalists keep referring to him as "the founder of Tesla"! He bought the company and never founded it.
Founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Eloon was an early investor and board member.
Load More Replies...This, from a guy who was SO excited to be onstage with a guy that's threatened to smite his enemies. That uses manufactured facts and repulsive descriptions of his challengers, also one who absolutely ADORES people who stay in power using assassination, poison, and all the tricks of someone who has no other talents, to retain power.
Thankyou for providing us with a perfect example, you clueless chocolate sprinkled donut hole.
Modern day Edison. Musk doesn't "do" anything, it's the engineers that come up with the ideas and implement them.
An Employee Cleaning The Floor Of A Roomba Store
Shh, the little rhombas are recharging now, let them rest :)
Load More Replies...Is it just me, or is there a robotic vacuum lounging on a chair, watching the young man work?
If we had one of these robotic vacuum cleaners I can imagine it joining a union, going on strike and trying to flirt with the microwave oven.
They don't make robot hoovers in France:) I would also be worried about the hoover revolution.
Load More Replies...Whatever do you mean, that will never ever happen! /s
Load More Replies...I don't really understand the point in these robovacs beyond their capacity to entertain pets who seem to enjoy riding them. Random sweeps of a floor isn't as effective as a dust mop or regular vacuum.
Not sure management really thought this one thru; the employee cleaning the floor should have just looked at the boss and said; "REALLY"!!
Yeah, it would take approximatively 20 minutes before the robot gets stolen.
I Honestly Don't Know If The Museum Is Open Or Not
Oftentimes, something being ironic makes it quite funny, too. That might be related to the fact that it is based on incongruity, which is also what one of the three main theories of humor is based on (the other two being the relief theory and the superiority theory).
According to the incongruity theory, people find humor in unexpected twists and turns or in concepts that are fundamentally incompatible. Needless to say, a dog carrying around a “no dogs” sign, for instance, as well as other examples of irony on this list, surely provide some at least somewhat incompatible sights.
A Protest I Can Really Get Behind
I saw a sign on the highway that said "End Roadwork" and I thought "I'm all for a good protest but this one... upvote for the doggo!
The Immigration Museum Is Looking Remarkable Accurate Right Now
I've been there! It's in Melbourne. They were doing some renovations at the time but I think you could still use the other doors.
I would have assumed something like that. It's still a brilliant image.
Load More Replies...If the US deported all the immigrants, the economy would nose dive so fast and so far that there would be a global ripple effect. Only stupid racists want to deport our workforce.
Only stupid liberals can’t see the distinction between immigration and mass unvetted migrants. Think beyond knee-jerk reactions just once.
Load More Replies...According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, discussing the role of incongruity in humor, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant suggested that, “In everything that is to excite a lively laugh there must be something absurd (in which the understanding, therefore, can find no satisfaction). Laughter is an affection arising from the sudden transformation of a strained expectation into nothing.”
It's Fine, Not Like One Of These Cost $40
When smol, dad bought the cat a nice raised cat bed, all soft and protected and...no, she decided to sleep on an old towel draped over the chair arm, trying to put the towel in the bed to get her to sleep there just resulted in her carrying the towel back to the chair arm.
Cat owners know that cats like boxes because they seek confined hiding places to observe and for safety as their ancestors did in the wild. But this cat still chose the box over the enclosed comfy, so there's something to the theory that cats enjoy the stimulation/sensation of cardboard.
And the cat's defense it does look like an open mouth trying to eat it.
We had two cats, brother and sister (Tigger and Willow). Willow got pregnant by the ginger tom down the road. It was suggested we got a carboard box as a birthing place, cut a hole in one end and put an old sweater inside. Put Willow inside. Willow climbs out and Tigger goes in. Willow goes into downstairs cloakroom, pulls towel off the rail and curls up. Guess where the kittens were born?
Nothing like THE cat! Mine took over the large memory foam orthopedic fluffy bed bought for our darling old little dog...He won't go in it after trying it once the cat moved in ..the cat is about a sixth the size of the bed. "Not happy Casper."
This Is So Ironic
What is that sign and why is the black bar at an angle instead of straight? Maybe the driver was going by that?
It was just down the road from me, Norfolk UK 🇬🇧. The sign means national speed limits apply, so they vary depending on the class of road you're driving on. In this case 60 mph.
Load More Replies...Deeply Ironic
And it came with a note that explained that it would be the last one ever to be sent in plastic, a claim that they have so far lived up to.
Yup! I don't even know how many came out after this one at this point but all others have been in paper wrapping not plastic.
Load More Replies...That's weird, my grandparents always bought my dad a subscription for Nat Geo in the US and it always was wrapped in a brown paper dust cover, never plastic.
Isn't there a theory that earthquakes are caused by the collective weight of all of the National Geographics sitting in huge stacks in garages and basements??
I have a digital subscription to Nat Geo, and this proves my theory that they have gone downhill over the years. Shame. One of my few childhood memories was retrieving the magazine of the world and all it's wonderful photographs, carrying it into the house like it was fragile crystal, and devouring everything it offered.
I was actually able to buy a set that has every issue up to 2022 on discs. It's really cool. I wound up donating my paper copies to the local library. It even has the sound files of the records that used to come with them. I did keep all of those!
Load More Replies...Keep it on the wrapper, might one day be worth money.. Bn the last 1 in plastic ever
Coming back to Kant’s idea that laughter arises from the “sudden transformation of a strained expectation into nothing”, it’s not difficult to see why people would find the situations on this list amusing. Take an image of a truck that didn’t fit under a bridge, for instance; under regular circumstances, a person would expect the vehicle to drive underneath it with no problem. But when it can’t due to its height, the person’s expectations disappear, just like the top of the truck after colliding with the bridge.
Needless to say, the slogan on the truck saying “We fit” can only make the situation even funnier, thanks to both the incongruity and the irony in the situation.
In Court For Shoplifting
But wouldn't the tags still be on if she bought it? This looks more like leaving the tags on so she can return it after wearing.
I can't say anything because I have been high in court for possession of cannabis back in the days before legalization. I think I may have been an idiot.
Somehow I get the feeling that this shirt was bought and put on in great haste. Fit is terrible. Maybe she had a clothes accident just before going in and someone rushed out to get her a clean shirt? IDK.

When Ronnie Raygun and Nancy moved to Bel-Air (just north of Beverly Hills) they lived at 666 St. Cloud Road.. Ronnie had the city change it to 668.
My great grandmother was a Sicilian protestant. She said the Pope has the devil's address in his hat, and it's 666. That always seemed like a pretty incomplete address to me
The famous mistranslation! The Number of the Beast is 616! One place I worked my desk phone was 666333 - you've no idea of the number of toddlers who called me! "Hello? Is your Mummy there? Can you put her on the phone?" Then the explanation that HER kiddy phone ME.

Though many people find irony amusing, quite a few might find it perplexing, too. In a piece for The MIT Press Reader, experimental psychologist, Professor of Psychology at the University of Memphis, and the author of Irony and Sarcasm, Roger J. Kreuz, delved deeper into the topic by covering how to “distinguish the notoriously slippery concept from its distant cousins coincidence, satire, parody, and paradox.”
According to Kreuz, irony is something most people seem to understand, yet it’s surprisingly difficult to define. The fact that the same term is used to describe very different things does not really help in the situation, either.
My Wife Bought The Same Book Twice By Mistake. How Ironic
Well, the right one is slightly smaller, so it IS working!
Only looks that way because the cover of the left one is slightly bent. And the pages likely have some space. If it were completely flat, the corner would be a little lower

The Way My OCD Medication Is Packaged
I don't have OCD, but I am a perfectionist, and this is SERIOUSLY IRRITATING!!!!!
To be fair, it's probably that way to make it easier for people to get one out without accidentally smashing another one in the process
meh, OP clearly has ocd. I'd give them a pass. but yeah, somehow when ocd and adhd combine you get obsessive compulsiveness but not about cleaning so everything's still a mess :(
Load More Replies...Comparing coincidence and irony, Kreuz wrote that the two are more like cousins rather than siblings, as the concepts only share a few attributes in common. “Coincidences involve juxtaposition and incongruity, but they aren’t counterfactual and don’t involve pretense. They may allude to failed expectations, but they aren’t explicit echoes. Coincidences may involve victims, humor, or criticism, but they are rarely truly humorous or poignant.”
The expert then continued to explain how irony differs from paradox, satire, and parody, and while all three are arguably something you’re well familiar with, discussing such differences might prove to be a challenge bigger than expected.

Don't leave sharp objects outside. Be responsible. Trees will have revenge. Better than a child finding it and chopping off a toe.
Another thing that might be quite difficult to distinguish from irony is sarcasm. In his series on irony, Ted-Ed educator Christopher Warner explained that verbal irony refers to saying something when you mean the exact opposite, while being sarcastic is saying the opposite, too, but with an added intention of mocking the person or the situation.
“Beware, though. While all sarcasm fits the definition of verbal irony, not all verbal irony is sarcastic. Verbal irony is where what is meant is the opposite of what is said, while sarcasm adds that little punch of attitude,” Warner noted.

The Irony In This Photo
I get so f*****g angry when I see this! Why make a homeless persons life much harder? There's actually many veterans on the streets too. That in itself is disgusting! And there's many youngsters who have fled an abusive home life also on the streets. Some people believe (wrongly) that everyone on the streets are d**g users or alcoholics and are lower than low. They're those people, but people need to understand that there's a reason that people are behaving this way. Who TF are we to judge without knowing the circumstances and it doesn't hurt anyone if these poor people need to sleep on a bench! Get TF over it and stop making their lives worse you horrible human beings!!!!
One has to wonder at the minds who designed these, the minds who manufacture them, the minds of those who install them. Such a trail of senseless malice. :(
Don't build shelters and low-income housing or increase the mental health & addiction programs or provide assistance to recently released prisoners... Do this. Now tell me again this is a Christian nation. Go on.
"And certainly not on this particular bench because god forbid we allow the riff-raff to be seen around here."
Weaponised street furniture. Some of the benches at bus stops in my city are very narrow and slope forwards. I find them really difficult to sit on never mind sleep on.
In order to hurt the homeless, they make life harder for everybody. What @$$holes.
Load More Replies...for those who don't get it, the kids who want to sleep here must sleep on the ground because of the bars on the bench! This makes me so mad! (`-n-`) *that was meat to be an angry face, my computer does not have emojis.*
I HATE those bars on benches! They interfere with people legitimately sitting there. I have heard about groups who go about at night and remove those bars, though I wonder how they manage it.

Just dawned on me the reason QR codes are ubiquitous is due to the increase of people using their smartphones to access the internet.
We have this where I work. The plant manager goes apeshit over cell phones and has signs everywhere about no cellphones and the lives he's going to take if he sees one. Right next to a QR code sign. Luckily I'm a contractor in his building.

Maybe They Want You To Struggle
I gave one of these to my grandmother as a Christmas present. It was a spur-of-the-moment purchase, but turned out to be one of her most appreciated gifts.
I have one of these. It came in packaging with a cardboard label with the product info on it inside plastic that had the bottom and sides folded over and the cardboard and plastic were stapled together. I did not struggle to open that package. These are not always packaged like the image shows. The cutter itself is very handy! I use it frequently!
Be Different It Is
Reminds me of a scene in "The LIfe of Brian"... Brian:"You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals! The Crowd: Yes! We're all individuals! Brian: You're all different! The Crowd: Yes, we ARE all different! Man in crowd: I'm not...
this quote is also ironic: "be different, just like everyone else"
Of course like those military folks who march in unison like one person..?Creepy robotic brain washed?

TNT is so terrible at their supposed work that they've been on my Revenge List for years. Smashing into a bridge seems pretty par for the course to me and not at all something I personally arranged.

This is because vandals keep attacking it, and locals do not like it. According to one place I found, it's not liked because it is a statue based on the film rather than actually related to Wallace himself, so is insulting.

This reminds me of a short story I read once about a conman who goes around peddling the most powerful glue ever made, except actually it stops working after a few hours (and by then he's skipped town). One day an old man comes to tell him that hey, he's invented a flying device, is he interested in investing? The device consists of a box glued to a strap you put around your wrist, and they go for a demo flight together. While the conman is thinking about how he's going to rip this guy off, his flying device falls apart and he plummets to his death. The old man is shocked because surely that couldn't have happened - he used the guy's own glue for that one! (It was written by Australian author Paul Jennings if you'd like to read more quirky short stories of this sort).
