Three Types of Irony

• Dramatic situation where a character is unaware
  of something the audience knows.
• Have you ever seen a horror movie that has a
  killer on the loose? You, and the rest of the
  audience, know that the teenagers should not go
  walking in the woods late at night, but they
  think a midnight stroll would be romantic.
  Needless to say, the teens become the next
  victims.
• When watching a talk show, the audience knows why
  a person has been brought on the show. However,
  the person sitting in a chair does not know that
  he is going to be reunited with a former lover.
  This adds to the suspense and humor of the show.

  you for being "smart." Your reply is a sarcastic,

  me make some smart decisions?"
• Your boyfriend shows up in ripped up jeans and a
  stained t-shirt. With a smirk, you say, "Oh! I
