View Full Version : Sarcasm

Is there a name for the condition some people have that is marked by a total inability to detect sarcasm in posts?
Is there an emoticon that represents "sarcasm alert" to those who are unable to detect sarcasm ("sarcastically disabled"?) that one can use in posts?
Some psychologists or psychiatrists will tell you that sarcasm is actually just a slightly more palatable way to communicate anger.
I think it can be funny.

It's called "the internet can't talk to you." No inflection or smarmy-looking face, it can be pretty easy to miss....

try using a: ;) or LOL or :) or any
of the other gay methods we
have to use to make sure it's
clear we are being sarcastic...
or just build up a reputation for
being a sarcastic prick and you
don't have to use those
things...then you can get away
with saying the mean things you
think about people and they will
think you are being sarcastic...

Sarcasm was the lesser known cousin of Tsar Nicholas. He drove his car into a chasm. Very tragic.

It drove IrishAlkey to the point of creating his sign pic to say "I'm kidding"....
Maybe you guys can talk about it over coffee...
He'll tell you how he stays up at night and questions every sarcastic comment he has made throughout the day....and you'll look at him..put your finger over his lips and whisper "...I know"

Well, I'll put it to you this way.
If I know people, and if they take shots at me, it's funny, I can deal with it.
(See: Me and ADF.)
But if I don't know people, and they are trying to be sarcastic, or in some cases, tragically unfunny, it just makes me want to punch them in face.
Repeatedly.
It's amplified on a message board when the ability to detect emotion is not there.

Sarcasm? RonFez.Net posters routinely use highbrow & lowbrow comedy, satire, puns, one-liners, parody, irony, incongruity, exaggeration & allusion. But never sarcasm.

What enrages me even more than people who just dont fucking get it are those who swear to high heaven that they do get it, that they've mastered it, but, when it's shoved in their face, they fold.
Ponder that.
