    It’s a reference from The Simpsons. Sarcasm is a good explanation, though it’s probably more accurately satire

      I’d call it irony. Satire is usually a more pointed critique- it would be referencing a specific situation or trope or person it wanted to lambast. So maybe a bit of satire about the US prison system? Honestly I don’t think they were trying to go there though.

        The word irony has too much confusion attached to it nowadays, in part thanks to Alanis Morissette. I would say it was meant tongue in cheek.
