Title: Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour Irony
Post by: gsnstooge on September 07, 2004, 09:48:04 PM
A bit of coincidence, on the first and last episodes of MG-HS, the champ tripled her HS winnings, yes on episode 1 won 250 in HS and 500 in Audience Match and on the finale the Squares champ won 500 and 1,000 in the Audience Match.  Any other ironies?  One other thing, is it just me, or did the last champ, Tara Carpenter seem to have more teeth than Pat Finn??

 1) What in the HELL are you talking about?

2) Please to be looking up "irony" in the dictionary, because you clearly have no damn idea what it means. Thank you for your participation.

 1) Moreso since it seems he meant DOUBLING their HS winnings.

2) Hey, it didn't stop Alanis Morissette, now did it? ;-)

 A translation of the above's rambling nonsense

On the first ep of MG/HS Hour, the champ won the game with $250 and then went to the "Super Match" and won $500.

And on the last ep of MG/HS Hour the champ won $500 and then went to the "Super Match" and won $1000.

Final Champ has more teeth than Pat Finn.

Somehow all that is ironic

And even translated that still makes no sense, and demonstrates that the OP has no understanding of the meaning of the concept of "irony".

I think they're saying it's ironic that the champion on the last episode of MG/HS Hour won exactly twice as much as the champion on the first episode.  Then they want to know if there are any other ironies like this.

Um...even if this is to be considered "ironic," there are probably no other ironies like this.

Conerning the final question about teeth, I'm just as ashamed to try to answer that one.

 Except it's NOT ironic.

It's BARELY coincidental, considering the limited number of possible outcomes.

(Misuse of the word "irony" is one of my pet peeves. Add to it an asinine and nonsensical post, and I tend to get the snappies.)

You're right, it should be "coincidence" instead of "irony."  I am horribly sorry.

I forgot until today that before creating this topic, I asked my brother what makes sarcasm funny and he said irony.

 What the [insert word of your choice here] does that have to do with the topic?
