    to add to this, ironic jokes where the irony is inside the context of what’s being parroted will mostly get people to jump in with the joke. One where it’s outside of it will get people tired of seeing others pretend to be dumb on purpose, and people that believe they legitimately are, to dogpile on it.

    and communicating that irony on edgecases between the two is like balancing on a tightrope

      It’s not irony, the joke is that the microplastics are altering their behavior to force them to support microplastic production.
