Actually Ironic does contain at least one example of Irony. Rain on your wedding day is actually considered a lucky charm, so despite the dread it inspires it can be considered a good thing.
At the start of the show Dana says that Karen used assonance when Karen used words with the same sound. This is actually incorrect.
Assonance is specifically using words with the same vowel sound ("for" and "door" for example), whereas Karen was using words with the same consonant sounds ("him" and "her" for example), which is alliteration (as Chris correctly stated earlier). Alliteration also applies for vowel sounds, so assonance is really just a specialised form of alliteration, but Karen was not matching vowel sounds, so assonance does not apply.
Just thought you might want to know.
