That was my initial thought – however under a loose definition of irony it fits somewhat.
ironic – characterized by often poignant difference or incongruity between what is expected and what actually is
When one looks at a professional moving companies check list, they do not expect it to be rudely honest and comical, they it expect it to be concise, professional and free of any stereotypes.
you might not even have to look so far… The irony could be even less detailed, simply put, how many hipsters would use this service? would it not be seen as relying on the establishment if they did?
They probably would. The joke is that hipsters are the most conformist people on the planet! I’m sure Apple, Starbucks and American Eagle Outfitters aren’t the establishment, right? That’s what makes it so much fun to laugh at them! They all think they’re anti-establishment while they’re the most pro-establishment people on the planet! Wait, that’s ironic, isn’t it?
Be of good cheer, my darling Dragon! My attempts at continuing the pun-run may have been expressed a bit extremely. There was no anger emoting from my end.
On the subject of “irony”, I posted that famous pic of the girl holding a protest sign saying women aren’t decoration, right when a couple girls from Hooters walks by. I called it ironic. A bunch of people jumped in telling me I didn’t know the meaning of the word ironic.
Pulled out the old Websters dictionary, and definition two of irony stated expecting one outcome (the protester wanted others to protest with her in support) but getting an entirely opposite response (women meant ONLY for decoration showing up).
Irony has several definitions. I really don’t know what the irony of the mustache is all about. The shirts I get though. They bug me still.
I am deflated.
*resolves Daddy issues*
That checkbox probably never gets filled in. So lonely it is.
Approves, Yoda does.
Dang it! I missed Nocon!
*in absentia squeeze*
Irony WIN!
Ironically on FAILblog.
Do you know how to use the word irony? Because I fail to see how this is ironic.

In that case, you need a more accurate dictionary

i see what you did there.

…American Eagle Outfitters? I think you’re confusing three stores… one of which hipsters would never even shop at.
perhaps you meant American Apparel? Or Urban Outfitters?
because it’s so hipster to make fun of hipsters… jeez, only hipsters would try and correct someone’s use of the word “irony” lol
That’s the very definition of a hipster: Someone who grossly overuses the word irony.
that and being expressing indifference about.
I have to discuss my feelings too?
*emotes*
Isn’t that why you are here?
*lays on couch*
Well, I didn’t think that’s what I was paying you for but here goes.
It all started on a crisp day in November.
Mmm… Crisp Day!
Finally, national recognition.
You rule, my friend, for obvious reasons.
At last! Salt and vinegar or cheese and onion?
Is the the story about you going to the popular convention for people who are fans of feelings? What’s it called…EmotiCon?
Yeah, I remember this one…she drove there in a Saab.
She took the pathos least resistance!
Then she got lost. Someone had changed where the signs were poignant.
Fer cryin’ out loud! A girl can’t even tell her own story any more around here.
I’m afreud you’re right Ms B. How did things break down like this?
Maybe I need to expressly state my intentions before beginning a story.
Or just laugh it off and get over my high and mighty self.

*SKA-WEEEEZE!*
Well thank goodness for that. That sounds painful!

This channel is boring, so. . .
*remotes*
i am failing at being a hipster so…
*demotes*
This is why NYC is the greatest place to live.
Keep the normies out of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn’s too “hip” for its own good. It’s turning into overpriced nonsense.
So hip it can’t see over it’s own pelvis.
*suffers from artist’s block*
Gah, now I have to move. If only I had a checklist to help me.
I don’t know — sounds like they’d just be moving the artist to another block.
How can facial hair be ironic?
“You see, the irony is, I grew this mustache to look like a pedo, but in reality… I actually am a pedo. ironic huh?”
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
That six-fingered man told me so. What a lying bastard.
Never trust a man with whom you have a digital relationship.
it’s not, irony is used by hipsters as a way to say they like something without being able to be criticized for it
“I like __”
“__ sucks”
“I know. I like __ ironically, because it’s so bad.”
flatrate will get you everywhere.
Maybe if my shirt is witty enough, someone will finally love me…
Stop posting mildly clever or interesting advertisements or promotional material as wins! They’re not wins! They’re ads!
I fail to see why anyone, hipster or not, would move to Bushwick.
so this is a win no?
They moved better before they got famous.
A-mazing

arguing about irony isn’t just ironic, it’s pathetic. and i’m not being ironic, i just hate you and your extended family.
lucky ting we no mo hipsters in hawaii. aurite!
Ooh take that hipsters, you got burned! Look out emos, you’re next!
Look, I hate hipsters just as much as the next guy, but come on, targeting them is too easy to be that funny.
It is a revelation to me that hipsters actually “read” Proust. Or Freud. Or Nietzsche. Wait, are we talking the comics edition?
Nobody said they read them, just own them
This is the weirdest post I have ever seen.
