It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
That's not ironic you stupid bitch. Tragic, perhaps, if maybe now you can't figure out how to make your peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But ironic? Hardly.

did you know that "tragic" is also a type of irony?
theres socratic irony, then theres dramatic irony, and comic irony.
irony is more of a wiki entry than a dictionary.com one.
no dufus, irony is a "word," which means it has a "definition"
those other words people throw in front of it are just to describe different ironic situations better, they don't change the definition of the word irony.

probably a half assed attempt at comic irony
From wikipedia:
Comic irony
Layers of comic irony pervade (as an example) Jane Austen’s novels. The first sentence of Pride and Prejudice famously opens with a nearly mathematical postulate. “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.†The scene that follows immediately betrays the proposal. “No, a rich young man moving into the neighborhood did not come to seek a wife.†In fact, it soon becomes clear that Austen means the opposite: women (or their mothers) are always in search of, and desperately on the lookout for, a rich single man to make a husband. The irony deepens as the story promotes his romance and ends in a double wedding.
Comic irony from television sketch-comedy has the distinction over literary comic irony in that it often incorporates elements of absurdity. For instance, an ironic situation might involve getting hit by a rib-delivery truck after trying to poison someone with bad rib-sauce to steal his or her gems. Reference: Season 4 Cycle 1—SCTV Network / 90 Show 2, Polynesiantown.
Comic irony has long been a staple of cartoons, in which the action is free to be unrealistic. An example is a notable Far Side cartoon in which a hapless cat is trapped against an inside house window, having to watch the once-in-a-lifetime consequences of a collision outside between a truck labeled "Al's Rodents," and another labeled "Ernie's Small Flightless Birds."
im not defendin alanis moirsette.
i could give a shit about her.
i just notice people being needlessly and obnoxiously anal about that word.
she wants a knife but she has an absurd amount of spoons instead.
its lame, but a tad bit ironic. her situation is incongruent with her needs to an extreme degree.
its not very good, but i see what she was getting at.

That is irony.
Having 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is tragic, not ironic.
And don't take it personally. I just fucking hate Alanis.
im probably being generous but i still think its ironic since you would consider spoons to be the opposite of knives. and if she desperately needed one thing and was given a shit ton of the opposite of that thing just by coincedence its kind of ironic. no?
its just a stupid fucking example.

I think most folks just didn't give a fuck about shaders.
It's sadly ironic that they misuse irony, thus making irony itself ironic
but... but... I once wrote an algorithm for a bump-map shader and it was loads of fun
is that a daikon radish
that's pretty ironic.

the whole song is ironic because she misuses ironic.
it's, if anything, MORE ironic
(UK ravers and whatnot and I'm drunk and curious)

I also fail to see how that's comic irony
i could give a shit about her.
i just notice people being needlessly and obnoxiously anal about that word.
she wants a knife but she has an absurd amount of spoons instead.
its lame, but a tad bit ironic. her situation is incongruent with her needs to an extreme degree.

That is irony.
Having 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is tragic, not ironic.
And don't take it personally. I just fucking hate Alanis.
hahaha ooh you.
so saved
it's a really fucking weird coincidence
where the hell would you get 10,000 spoons
and hell, even then you aren't screwed, you can cut stuff with a spoon it's just a pain in the ass
it's a strange inconvenience
One could argue that it's tragic; however you'd like to look at it though, it isn't ironic, which is my main point.
And from a while back:
