It's like if someone makes a joke, but it was bad joke (unbeknownst) and then they went on to explain it, unasked, that would be ironic cringe. 

But since you acknowledged it as a bad joke, if you had explained it, it would have been unironic. 

To top it off, you made me be the one to explain so it's doubly unironic. Well played, sir.

Please don't make my meme into a rune ;_;

I couldn’t tell from your tone 

Riffing? Have you been watching marvelous Mrs Maisel? 

I can’t double down on this bad joke because it’s hit rock bottom

I'm riffing with you. You said it was a bad joke so I'm asking you to double down so I can understand. We're all friends here.
