Irony - This is a link to YouTube. It's a scene from //The Adam's Family// when the Joan Cusack's character is introduced to the Adam's Family. She meets Gomez and says "What a lady killer." Gomez responds "Acquitted." Thought it was a good scene to emphasize situational irony.

Irony - Here's a hilarious scene from //Blazing Saddles//. This is the scene when Mongo comes to town and knocks out a horse. You probably want to forward past the part where they use the "n" word. They also say the "s" word. So you might want to turn down the volume when you play it for your students. More situational irony. Funny stuff.
