WELL NEVER!
 
Can You Be Sarcastic? If So Why?

I do. I don't know why. I just do it for fun! xD

Eruption September 19th, 2009 9:32 AM

No, I'm never sarcastic.

All the time, I can hardly string a sentence together that doesn't contain sarcasm.

The internet makes it a different story though.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 19th, 2009 10:10 AM

I enjoy being sarcastic, even if some people don't like it and make me their worst enemy because of it (and I'm looking at one person in particular).

It's just what I do, what makes me, well... me :P

Mitchman September 19th, 2009 10:38 AM

Sarcasm is what I use most of the time which is why i get into trouble most of the time.

Banjora Marxvile September 19th, 2009 10:40 AM

I am sarcastic only when there is a need to be, like a really stupid question, or when something obvious is said. I can be a bit of a jerk to idiots nowadays.

Caelus September 19th, 2009 10:42 AM

I can be sarcastic sometimes, though sometimes I choose to avoid it.
Sarcasm itself is what usually gets me in trouble. D:

Alexithymia~ September 19th, 2009 10:43 AM

I love being sarcastic.
I don't think I could go a day without being sarcastic.. XD

I'm more sarcastic irl, but I am online sometimes.. ;3

Synaesthesia September 19th, 2009 10:46 AM

No I can't be sarcastic. I would literally die if I used sarcasm once, at any time, in my life.

Haza September 19th, 2009 11:49 AM

Im probably sarcastic 20% of the time Im speaking. I love effing with people.

Bay September 19th, 2009 2:39 PM

I usually just tell it like it is because I'm mostly a sweet person. XD; However, if there's something that bugged me a lot (which is rarely), I might be sarcastic, though in a sort of nice way. ^^;

Percy Thrillington September 19th, 2009 2:43 PM

No, I'm never sarcastic. EVER.

Jordan September 19th, 2009 3:39 PM

I am an unfortunate practitioner of being deadpan. That is, I say everything in a serious tone, even if I am being sarcastic. This is probably the result of my Colbert Report overdosage, but it can't be helped, it's become a habit. Rarely does anyone catch on to my sarcasm, though, and that leads to embarrassing complications....

Code September 19th, 2009 3:49 PM

all the time, but only IRL. XD
I am Eeeevil!

Rokusasu September 19th, 2009 4:37 PM

Yes, but my sarcasm online needs a bit of work...

People thought I liked the JoBros! ;-;

Timbjerr September 19th, 2009 8:48 PM

Nope, people just call me a cynical, sarcastic, antisocial sadist because they be hatin' :P

Citrinin September 19th, 2009 10:37 PM

I'm actually quite sarcastic in real life, because the tone of voice makes it obvious. Not so much online, though. :s

Signomi September 19th, 2009 10:41 PM

...almost all the time. XD; Sarcasm for me just makes a situation seem lighter, it's also a good way for me not to feel totally frustrated with anything that's going on, eventually it became a habit for me to be rather sarcastic very often.

Guillermo September 19th, 2009 11:09 PM

Yes. I do it to make other people look like idiots.

.Seth September 19th, 2009 11:11 PM

I'm sarcastic. No! Really? :P
I take it a bit over the edge though.

Ho-Oh September 20th, 2009 6:21 AM

I can act sarcastic but like... I don't even notice I do it.

Vie September 20th, 2009 7:43 AM

All the time. seriously. I can't answer questions normally.
Its a curse.

Azonic September 20th, 2009 8:13 AM

All the time. XD On the internet, it's usually whether I'm trolling or giving compliments.

Spearow September 20th, 2009 9:37 AM

when I am sarcastic I try to be gentle/subtle about it, and I like to think there are traces of earnestness in my ironic statements.

Because honestly, no one likes a snooty jaded person who thinks they're a million times better than "all those other idiots". You have to be able to poke fun at yourself at least a little. Otherwise it's kind of a nasty shock when you realize you really aren't as intelligent and ahead of the curve as you thought you were. What I'm trying to say is, it's a bad thing to forget how to be honest

But if you really are a genius sarcasm away i guess, no one will detect it so is the point moot? It'd be like talking to yourself!

The Darkest Gale September 20th, 2009 9:42 AM

oh I do it all the time
right
on the net especially
apparently graceful likes my sarcasm thingy [/sarcasm]

Crystal Glaceon September 20th, 2009 9:59 AM

I can be sometimes. Not online though, as that gets confusing lol.

Hagumi September 20th, 2009 10:13 AM

Yes, it's became a habit of mine; though I try not to be as sarcastic on the internet, since it can get confusing.

aurevesque September 20th, 2009 10:35 AM

I love being sarcastic! It definitely lightens the mood, however being sarcastic online is a problem. no one can tell if you're actually doing it, unless you put sarcasm in the brackets...then that just ruins it.

Honest September 20th, 2009 11:06 AM

Im always sarcastic. Fuuny thing is, people almost always take me for being serious.

As for why I do it....Well, I just act like an ass sometimes (I can say that right?)

viridian doubletongue September 20th, 2009 11:30 AM

Most of the time i'm not aware whether i'm being sarcastic or not.

michele September 20th, 2009 4:14 PM

i can be sarcastic a lot of times.
but a lot of times when i am, no one seems to understand that i am being sarcastic. :\

Michii September 22nd, 2009 5:05 PM

Size one font next to each other. :o

I guess I'm sarcastic. I remember I came to PC as a very overconfident thirteen year old who couldn't wait to be cool by making sarcastic comments. I didn't hesitate to put how sarcastic I was in my introduction, my signature, and my posts. Haha, the old days. :p

I'm only blatantly sarcastic with my friends now (atleast online). They know when I'm joking and when I'm not, so it all works out and no one is hurt. That doesn't go over too well offline though XD;. People get offended and don't know that I'm joking. ;;

Lana. September 22nd, 2009 6:12 PM

Sarcasm is my first language IRL. Seeing as it doesn't really work on the internet, I don't use it so much here. But otherwise...

*I'm eating a bowl of brown-colored ice cream*
"Is that chocolate ice cream?"
"No, it's strawberry."

"I'm sure" is one of my favorite phrases. =3

s0nido September 23rd, 2009 2:15 AM

Me? Sarcastic? No!
Seriously, though, I'm not one for sarcasm, unless the situation just begs for it. Otherwise, I'll just talk as per normal or try to make jokes that don't involve offending people. :3

>Feelings< September 23rd, 2009 7:45 AM

I CAN be sarcastic if I want, but I normally avoid being sarcastic, and prefer to not use anything along the line.

For some reason, about 90% of the times, I just can't stand sarcasm.
I prefer things put the straight way. I hate sarcasm most of the times.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 26th, 2009 3:37 PM

Sarcasm is a way of life for me. We all do it, even if we don't mean to


:t354:TG

Luck September 26th, 2009 3:41 PM

Oh yes, I am a huge douche in real life, so I almost always have a tone of sarcasm in my voice, whether it be deserved or just random.
I wish I could say the same thing for my internet life, but my posts are devoid of any obvious sense of sarcasm.

the bitter end. September 26th, 2009 5:03 PM

Me? I'm hardly ever sarcastic you know? It's just not how I am.[/sarcasm]

Gulpin September 26th, 2009 5:15 PM

I like to think that I'm sarcastic and good at sarcasm, but I think the sad truth is that my sarcasm isn't exactly the sharpest...

Eternal Nightmare September 28th, 2009 8:17 AM

I do it all the time and ive become quite popular due to my sarcastic nature. Its so fun to do xD

Nick September 28th, 2009 9:03 AM

I have my sarcastic moments, but I'm not the type of person who makes a sarcastic comment on absolutely everything, despite whatever my father has to say on the matter. Apparently to him, though, I'm always sarcastic.

Usually I just use sarcasm whenever I'm aggravated or frustrated.

XxDawnfanxX September 28th, 2009 9:15 AM

I do it to be funny, I am very sarcastic and especially when I am talking to a girl, it seems they find it funny as long as you don't over do it. I do it to my parents all the time, my dad is just as bad as me xD.

Yggdra September 28th, 2009 3:16 PM

I attempt, but usually fail.

I like sarcasm, I just suck at it XD

MarstheCar September 28th, 2009 3:54 PM

I get sarcastic unintentionally. It's just the I am. :\

professor plum September 28th, 2009 4:51 PM

I'm not sarcastic at all - I think you should speak the truth instead of resorting to ironic fallacies.

Idiot! October 3rd, 2009 1:20 AM

When facing captain obvious, why yes, I could be sarcastic.

If I see a silly suggestion, why not, I can be sarcastic too.

Captain Hobo. October 3rd, 2009 12:02 PM

I like being funny because it is fun.

Cold Fusion October 3rd, 2009 12:12 PM

Nooooo, I'm never sarcastic.

Of course, I love to be sarcastic. <3
