Sometimes the irony stems from the fact that the plan works brilliantly and the protagonist gets exactly what she’s after, only to discover it’s actually the last thing she’d ever want. In which case, Gary instantly falls for April, sweeping her into his arms, murmuring that he loves her almost as much as playing World of Warcraft until dawn, which he’d do every night if only his mom would stop banging on the wall.
Damn funny.
