You and many others have been misled by the term "irony poisoning" to believe that irony is in itself poisonous. This is untrue (or at least it's subjective, if you just really don't like ironic settings and pretexts).
There are plenty of stories that employ ironic humor but are sincere at their core. Characters and settings can be dressed up in absurdity without becoming nothing but a joke. That's what happens when something transitions from ironic to irony-poisoned, when the joke becomes the whole substance of the work and it's no longer capable of taking itself (or being taken) seriously.
