Why is it so hard for some people to read, or even understand verbal sarcasm? It baffles me.

Is this a sarcastic thread?

I'm not sure, is it?

That would be ironic.

Seriously though. I thought people just had a hard time reading sarcasm, but I was amazed how many people thought McKay was serious in that Broadway.com video. She basically winks at the camera at one point after sayins she hates the show.

Bobby, are you using sarcasm, irony or are you just baffled?

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 3/18/06 at 6:58pm

I think sarcasm is the only way I stay sane.

You owe your life to the ponies and you know it.

Sarcasm is my middle name. It is hard to read, though. But it's obvious when you're watching it or hearing it.

Mary-Lou, go start a thread about...mmm...Harvey the Rabbit!

[pattifan2]

Posted: 3/18/06 at 7:12pm

Roberta - you owe getting threads deleted to the ponies.

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 3/18/06 at 7:13pm

I can't help it if the powers that be deny the power of the pony.

You know, Roberta, you can be so sarcastic at times.

I'm as serious as American Idol.

[pattifan2]

Posted: 3/18/06 at 7:17pm

But more talented. Now, is that sarcasm or irony?

I think is usually easy to understand when hearing it, but I must say I sometimes have a hard time reading it. Especially when the person is being sarcastic about something you have little to no knowledge about. (I hope that makes sense)
