My bad. Poor attempt at irony.

That’s not how you use that word

Edit: it was indeed how you use that word

Is it not? There are 2 ways I could’ve intended. There’s the serious use, where I think the joke is actually (unironically) funny, or there’s ironic use, where I don’t think the joke itself is funny, but the use of something generally agreed upon as unfunny is itself its own joke.

I’m genuinely not trying to be overly pedantic here, and I may not be funny, but I’m fairly certain my use of “irony” was correct.

Ah I see what you mean now, I hadn’t read the sarcasm in the original post so I was rather dubious of that claim haha
