Even in English, sarcasm can be delivered very dryly in a way that would be undetectable without knowing context. It doesn't need to be spoken with exaggerated tones. I do it too much.

    Someone commented that his sarcasm was lost with, mostly, religious folks in Oklahoma, and I realized that yes it happened to me too plenty of times (but not in Oklahoma). So yeah, even in English it can be elusive to some people.
