Gemini seems to understand irony better than most people.

If you make a joke it will respond with a deadpan sarcastic wit that is worthy of Gervais. (without the smut or profanity)

Was asking it about finding a different supplement as the one we had been taking tended to get stuck in the throat, and it riffed about the irony of being taken out by a health supplement in our endeavours to live healthy. One of the funniest things I've heard all week.

It's really good at understanding implied meanings. With other LLMs I often had to add a hint to clarify and guide, but Gemini can easily follow and guess the current tension and mood.
