Hold it right there, Brain.
Step away from the water pistol.
We ain't wants to get wet.
We did not bring the change of clothes.
It is not a water pistol.
It looks like a water pistol.
This is my rain-ray,
and I'm going to use it to flood Jump City.
Not on our watch.
Titans, go!
You have failed for the last time, Titans.
Oh, the irony.
Irony?
Well, how is this ironic?
'Cause you kicked us when we was down.
- Very ironic. - Totally.
The irony shall get you the every time.
That is not irony.
Which makes it even more ironic.
I hate them ironies.
So ironic!
What?
I-Irony!
Irony.
I don't have time for this.
I have a city to destroy.
I can't believe this is happening.
Don't worry, we'll stop The Brain.
The city will not do the floodings.
I'm not talking about that.
Uh, you should be.
There is a bigger travesty that must first be remedied.
You guys not knowing what irony is.
What?
My pet peeve in life
is people incorrectly using the word "irony."
Man, we's know what irony is,
it's just things that be ironic.
Like jumbo shrimp,
jumbo is big and shrimp is small, it's so ironic.
I find it the ironic that we cry the wolf,
why do we not howl the wolf?
And if you say it real-fast over and overs,
it sound like Ernie.
Irony.
Now all I hear is iron-knee,
which I've got, so that's also ironic.
None of that has anything to do with irony!
Relax, dude.
Oh, you want me to relax
when we live in a society
that doesn't grasp the simple meaning of irony?
Yeah, that's exactly what we wants.
You're getting worked up about the wrong thing.
The city is in danger, man!
I'm not sure it's worth saving.
Because people use a word wrong?
Like I said, it's a pet peeve.
Oh, no.
Please don't tell me you're gonna lecture us about irony.
Of course, I am.
We'll start with the basics.
The first thing to know is that there are three forms of irony.
Ooh, ah.
We ain't got no time for no, "Ooh, ah,
three forms of irony," fool.
Don't worry, we'll just start with one.
Verbal irony! Cha!
We're gonna have to save the city without him.
But first we got to get out of this cell.
Simply stated, verbal irony is when you say one thing
but mean the opposite.
Say if someone asked me a question...
You think I can cut through these bars?
To which I would respond,
"Oh, it's perfectly fine
to cut through electric bars
with a metal chainsaw."
Okay, if you say so.
Oh, the nos.
Makes it stop.
Why would you tell me to do that?
To demonstrate verbal irony.
Cha-cha-cha.
We gots to get through these bars!
There must be some way to shut off the electricity.
Verbal irony with an edge,
or mal-intent, is called sarcasm.
Allow me to demonstrate.
Ooh! There's the power box.
Star, help me jimmy-open these door controlzies.
Okie-dokies.
Stick my pointy fish nose all up in theres.
Yeah, that looks nice and safe.
Cool.
Why do you keep doing this to us?
That was not the nice,
or the safe!
That's right.
I was demonstrating sarcasm.
Sounds like you're already learning a lot.
And look at that,
irony saves the day.
Come on, there's not much time.
The rain-ray must be on the roof.
Wait!
You think that dirty Brain set up some booby traps?
No, I haven't finished my lesson on irony.
But we must get to the rain-ray before it is the too late!
It's okay, I can walk and talk.
The next form of irony
is dramatic irony.
Uh, Robin...
Uh-uh, no interruptions, please.
Dramatic irony happens
when the audience knows something
that the character does not.
Bro, you's busy teachin' us some dumb stuff,
but you's about to get caught.
Exactly, Beast Boy.
Finally someone is paying attention...
Oh.
I, uh,
didn't see you there.
Should we help him?
If we do, he's gonna talk about irony some more.
Would it be ironic if we don't?
I'm not sure.
Yo, we'll help you
if you stop talking about irony.
It's... a... pet... peeve!
Oh!
My man just got saved by pack of wild dogs!
Talk about irony.
That was just a random event.
But it does lead us
into our next form of irony.
Can we please focus on saving the world?
We're so close.
Yes, close...
to understanding all three types of irony.
Enough with them lessons, fool.
Let me check the roof and assess the situation.
Heavy security.
We'll need to sneak past the guards
and destroy the rain-ray before The Brain goes off.
- Raven. - On it.
Continuing our lesson,
the third and final type of irony
is known as situational irony!
Ooh, ah, pshaw!
Di-di-di. Shush, man.
The guards will hear the mouth noises.
Situational irony is also known as
the irony of events.
For instance, a monster under the bed
is scared by the child?
Ironic!
Whatch this?
It appears there is a fire
at the fire station.
Ironic!
The presentation has destroyed them.
Look at that.
They tried to destroy my presentation,
but my presentation destroyed them.
Situational irony.
You may have taken out my guards,
but all of your foolish bickering
has slowed you down.
You are too late.
Ooh, aah!
What is happening?
Instead of destroying the city the rain-ray made it better.
That's...
the opposite of what was expected.
Yo, that sounds like... like...
Irony!
Yes!
You've done it!
You've correctly identified irony!
Circle gets the square.
What you laughing about, fool?
Yeah, you lost, you dummy.
You've shown me that you care
about what words mean
and that gives me hope for this world.
I will, therefore, leave behind
my villainous ways.
Cool. Who's hungry?
I am literally starving.
Literally.
That is not the proper use of the word "literally."
I could literally eat a horse.
But you couldn't.
You understand that, right?
Yeah, man. I'm so hungry
my eyes is literally bigger than my stomach.
My stomachs are the literally eating themselves.
You are using "literally" incorrectly!
You literally do not know what "literally" means!
Ironic, huh?
