1) "Bob Saget is actually a really dirty, foul-mouthed comedian! Seriously! If you listen to his stand-up, you'd be surprised how R-rated it is!" No, I wouldn't. Everyone knows Saget is filthy. Welcome to 14 years ago.

This is an excellent example. People say this somewhat frequently, but still don't seem to realize that it has become well-known.

2) "Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" is not ironic at all! She misuses the word completely! Did you realize that?" Yes, as did everyone else when the song came out. We know the lyrics are not examples of irony. Can we just forget the song exists now please?

I think this is a terrible example. Ironically ( [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] ) I actually think your commentary itself is a very good example. I have heard more people complaining about the Ironic-bashers, as you do, than actually criticizing the song. By this point, everyone knows that the Ironic-bashers aren't clever, so there's no need to point it out.
You have become what you hate.
