I played FIFA 2004 with my cousin for 13 hours straight taking it in turns to play, with only the occasional toilet break.

I'd argue it's the highest. Well, irony at least.

Is irony part of sarcasm or sarcasm part of irony?

:nono: Dave what I said was ironic not sarcastic.

and I think The actual quote was "Sarcasm is the highest form of wit. I don't think"

or something similar but people have misunderstood the point.

Sarcasm is a type of irony but irony is not a type of sarcasm.

Yup, sarcasm is irony used as a put down, whereas an ironic statement is one where the opposite is true.

An example of sarcasm may be: "Dave doesn't like gay porn"

An example of irony may be: "Nobody likes money"
