Some scenes make us look twice and ask ourselves if logic works the same for everyone. “Irony” is a state of affairs that is strange or funny because what we see is contrary to what we expected.
And to show it’s not just an abstract concept, we at Bright Side collected photos that will represent irony better than any words could do. From awkward word division to confusing instructions, these captured moments will make you think that some people either struggle with logic or they know something we don’t.
1. A box of apples with a character that got poisoned by an apple on it
2. The pocket is completely useless, but at least the zipper works.
