 Irony is when situations are the opposite that one would expect. There are many types of irony in [[literature]], however in humor it is often the expression of one's meaning using language that would indicate the opposite.<ref>New Oxford American Dictionary</ref> For example, "as fun as watching paint dry."
-Sarcasm, is typically mean-spirited irony, which uses ''tone'' to indicate that opposite is meant, rather than a ridiculous juxtaposition.<ref>New Oxford American Dictionary</ref>Sarcasm, for example, would involve someone who dislikes, say racing, and states that NASCAR is the pinnacle of sporting excellence.

 In [[drama]], humorous dramatic irony can occur when a character makes a statement, when the audience knows that the exact opposite is true.  For example, remarking how relaxing an empty room is when the audience has seen a character hiding moments before.

-The U.S. cable television show 'Jackass' has elevated physical humour of the painful type into a successful show and two movies. For whatever reason, young men in the coveted 18-25 demographic find this to be the pinnacle of humour and often never grow out of it.
+A well known example of slapstick humor is the Three Stooges, which consists of many physical gags.
