I recall >=3 levels of linguistic ironic detachment in High School. First: basic humorous incongruity between literal speech and intended meaning. 2nd level: doing this defensively where you mean what you say but "have an out". 3rd: Pretending to need an out as a status move.

Can you flesh out what three looks like?

Often 3rd level irony looks like scornful mimicry. Imagine Alec Baldwin satirically pretending to be "Trump semi-ironically testing out a new phrase". This makes Baldwin look superior to Trump and some of his verbal ploys, even as Baldwin produces those ploys from his own mouth.

However, suppose Baldwin's satire is subtle... then an anti-Trumper might think the portrayal is maybe *intentionally* "deniably sympathetic" and suspect Baldwin of 4th level irony. A lot of Colbert's old mockeries of Fox newcasters supporting Bush arguably got close to this.

This GIF is pitch perfect 3rd level irony. Baldwin portrays a caricature of 2nd level irony. He doesn't care if typecasting hurts his noob audience appeal. To SAVVY anti-Trump audiences he (1) shows confidence vs typecast risks and (2) loyalty to the cause of bashing Trump.

Oldschool Colbert on Comedy Central was so nuanced and friendly as a "fake bad conservative" that some conservatives thought he was doing 2nd or 4th level irony and was secretly "on their side" *against* his mainstream liberal audiences. Maybe he was really doing 5 levels?
