The circumstance of something unfortunate happening in exactly the way one expects. Opposed to all classical definition of irony.

When the audience of a TV show, play, etc. knows something a character doesn't. Popularized by William Shakespeare, and used extenseively in the TV series South Park
In this one episode of South Park, Cartman thinks he's dead because nobody is talking to him, but we know it's because they've decided to completely ignore him.

Hood Irony A.K.A thug humor is straight up homosexual african-american porn bait memes, such as dreamybull, thughunter, erotic barber and more. Hood Irony will consist of a video the first 50 frame (or sometimes just one) will be
a random cringe video of an anime woman or anything like that and then it will skip to funny dreamybull masturbating loudly or a black man twerking his oily ass
person 1: have you seen the new hood irony video?
person 2: no
person 1: it has ambatukam in it!!

In simple terms, when something seems ironic but the speaker means it sincerely, or when the speaker is ironically being ironic.
Considered the second level of irony in the Layers of Irony model along with meta-irony, where sincerity is the zeroth layer and irony is the first. Originated in the current metamodernistic/internet era.
Sometimes synonymous with New Sincerity.
Often conflated or confused with meta-irony, and nobody really knows which one was originally which. On the internet post-irony is generally accepted to be levels of irony resulting in sincerity, but sometimes meta-irony is a sub type of post-irony that is specifically ironic irony.
The generally accepted internet definition of Post-irony may be used in three different situations :
1. To describe when something is originally done or posted ironically but over time becomes a habit that is done or posted unironically.
2. To describe a meme when it makes you expect irony, but you get sincerity. As a result the meme is ironic in context as it wasn't what you were expecting, so is funny.
3. To describe a meme that is making fun of a meme making fun of a meme. something is originally posted on the internet because its funny, but after a while it isn't funny anymore; it's then funny to make fun of it. Eventually it isn't funny to make fun of it, but it is funny to make fun of making fun of it.
Example 1: When irony becomes sincerity through habit.
"Me and my friends started saying "oof" ironically, but now we say it unironically whenever something sucks, we've hit post-irony."
Example 2: When you expect irony but get sincerity (Meme)
Top Text: When you get charged with tax fraud
Funny Image of Doge
Bottom Text: guys this isnt funny i actually committed tax fraud what do i do
Example 3: When something funny is originally posted sincerely but then evolves.
2010 Doge is posted as its a funny image of dog with dog misspelled.
Over time doge loses humor as it becomes more popular and the internet gets used to it.
2013 iFunny user hiyro posts the first ironic doge meme of doge with an image of someone burning drugs in a spoon super imposed over it.
2017iFunny user Paddy popularizes the ironic doge meme meta with doge with the words "ok retard" blocking the majority of the image.
Over time ironic doge memes lose humor as they become more popular and the internet gets used to them.
Sometime 2018-2020 Post ironic doge memes (either ironically posted ironic doge memes or ironic doge memes that are sincere) become popular.
Future The wave of what is perceived as ironic in context and therefore funny progresses another level of irony as post-irony becomes mainstream and expected.

The act of using somebody's words against them, usually when something to their great detriment is about to be inflicted upon them. Usually in the form of a gloating statement.
Kuzko: "Okay, I admit it. Maybe I wasn't as nice as I should have been. But, Yzma, do you really want to kill me?"
Yzma: "Just think of it as you're being let go...that your life's going in a different direction...that your body's part of
a permanent outplacement."
Kronk: "Hey, that's kind of like what he said to you when you got fired."
Yzma: "I know. It's called a cruel irony...like my dependence on you."

Irony's tendency to reference itself in skeumorphic form from one culturally-manifestive medium to the next. Irony as a self-referencing (meta-meta - - > self-actualized) entity. Culturally-manifestive mediums include literary--> cinematic - - > existential - - > aesthetic - - > conscious.
Conscious irony or irony's ability to self - reference from one medium to the next implies that it is self-sentient; that consciousness is an attribute of irony rather than irony being an attribute of consciousness
