Is there such a thing as an "ironic" ad?

I just got sent an advertisement for "first cIass knockoff watches" by my friend and I couldn't tell if this was serious or not.

It's supposed to be a real ad, showing those fancy gold/silver watches with the weird hands and such.

I... have no idea if this happens often. Does anyone know any commercials or whatever that are perhaps tongue-in-cheek like that?

I got this ad one time when I was browsing the internet:

Alright alright we'll say that it was a video game "related" site don't worry, I won't judge. At least, not on this forum :P .

I'm currently feeling doubtful that anyone who's posted here knows what ironic is... :P

An ironic ad might be an ad that is put out to increase sales of a product that is currently selling in a mediocre manner that ends up completely destroying sales and putting the seller out of business. Which has probably happened, although I don't have an example in mind.

Well I did put quotation marks which signifies... er, something.

What do you mean? Are you saying that there aren't enough black people in commercials?

Showing women in commercials, in the Middle-East. How this went passed the Saudia sensors I'll never know. They're being too lenient.

This is an ad. And there is irony. So, I guess so.
