By improving the performance of a Nerf gun, you "buff" it, which is ironic

“Nerf” is an opposite to a “buff” in videogame context.

I get that. Where is the irony? I think to be ironic there needs to be some air of unexpectedness. I certainly think it’s amusing to say that you were buffing a nerf gun, but maybe not unexpected

But I think Alanis Morissette would be on board

The irony is that you would think nerfing a nerf gun would improve it, because it’s more nerf per nerf.
