Is it me? Or is the fact they tell you it's ironic raises the suspicions that they think we can't recognise irony? Or maybe as a justification - "if they think it's ironic they will think it acceptable" - for their humour?
I got fed up with TV "humour" based on cruelty to or, embarrassment of, others way back in the 1960s and 1970s, and so have tended to avoid "humour" on TV for most of my adult life.
