Hubris

Extreme arrogance that leads to ones downfall, vaguely connected to Irony.

E.g. Thomas Tomstall passed his driving test making a point out of it by jingling his keys and comparing his driving skills to the size of his penis. Later that day young Thomas was driving down a country lane at 90mph when low and behold he got air in his car and flipped over a ravine.

The next day when his class mates found out about Thomas's fate all that could be said was "LOL! HUBRIS!"
