QI (XL) on irony 

I sort of agree that Columbo is the greatest ever show. Because thinking of the times we living and speaking of current.. No wait: it's just really timeless.

i think there is an episode when a side character asks columbo to help him find/investigate something and columbo agrees and says that three eyes are better than two

It's like rain on your wedding day. A free ride when you've already paid.

I wouldn't say that last example was ironic. I would say it was more steely.

Pity there aren't more with Frank Skinner.

THERE'S GOT TO BE A POINT WHERE YOU STOP CARING FOR PORK

Every example was from america...Holy Crap, it's a country just made of irony. Interesting.

Conversely, "rain on your wedding day" isn't ironic! Unless Alanis Morissette was getting married to Ra the Sun God, anyway.

Sean so despises Skinner.
