Line 1: {{creator}} {{outdated}} [[File:Alanis_Morissette_alanis_3581.jpg\|frame]] Line 6 ⟶ 7: She is also [[God]]. Or at least, she played Her in ''[[Dogma]]''. She also appeared in [[The Film of the Book]] of ''[[Radio Free Albemuth]]'', a [[Philip K. Dick]] novel. Also, people think she doesn't understand the meaning of the word [[Irony\|"ironic"]]. ~~Even if irony was simply any "amusing coincidence" (which is overly generous)~~Sure, most of the lines in the song are not Verbal Irony, but that doesn't make them non-ironic - each one is either Situational Irony, Tragic Irony, or Cosmic Irony. People complained that they weren't ironic because they weren't Verbal Irony - which itself is a case of Situational Irony. ~~That~~The ~~includes~~real ~~people~~irony, ~~who~~of ~~should~~course, ~~know~~is ~~better,~~that ~~such~~''all'' asof the situations in the song are ironic - they just aren't examples of Verbal Irony. Which would mean that the song ''was'' about irony after all. Isn't ~~[[George~~It ~~Carlin]]:~~Ironic? {{quote\|"If a diabetic, on his way to buy insulin, is hit and killed by a truck, that is an accident. If the truck was carrying sugar, then he is the victim of an oddly poetic coincidence. But if the truck that hit him was carrying insulin, ''then'' he is the victim of irony."}} The real irony, of course, is that ''all'' of the situations in the song are ironic - they just aren't examples of Verbal Irony. Which would mean that the song ''was'' about irony after all. Isn't It Ironic? Besides, she released a [[Rearrange the Song\|piano]]-[[Lyrical Dissonance\|ballad]] [[Cover Version\|cover]] of the Black Eyed Peas song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRmYfVCH2UA "My Humps"], thus proving once and for all that she ''did'' understand it. Line 77 ⟶ 74: * [[Teen Idol]]: ([[Canon Discontinuity\|Where did you]] [[Old Shame\|get that idea?]]) * [[Unplugged Version]]: ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|Jagged Little Pill Acoustic]]'' * [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: While there might be a meaning behind it,<ref>It's a pretty obvious meaning to This Troper: She's given up binge-eating processed foods, and wants a prize - the "ever-elusive kudo" - for doing so.</ref> "Thank U" has verses that qualify in this trope: {{quote\|How 'bout gettin' off of these antibiotics?
