MODERATORS
Kind of, but it only works when the audience knows that you are being sarcastic either by knowing you or some kind of context for them to know.
If your audience doesn't know you then it helps to be as absurd as possible.
Lol. The last part is the most important one. Thats a major point of being sarcastic. You need to be as absurd and ridiculous as possible
Well absurdity is also relative, what I may consider absurd may be mild or normal to others.
You need it to be sufficiently absurd to reject itself as what you’d be saying.
It reinforces the shared context between people too.
