Oh my fucking god, do I seriously have to explain to you how sarcasm works? Here:

the use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something in a humorous way

"We lost a referendum because we're smarter than everyone else" = "if you're smarter than everyone else, shouldn't you have won the referendum?"

And the answer is no, because that's not how that works.

You know you're doing well when you're bringing out the dictionary definitions

but whilst we're in your dictionary definitions

in a humorous way

I.e. a joke. Please see above comment about responding earnestly to a joke

You know you're doing well when you have nothing relevant to say anymore.

And no, sarcasm is not the same as just 'a joke'.
