the person in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkPR4Rcf4ww) argues that for something to be considered "kafkaesque" it has to not only embody oppressive nightmare-ish qualities but it must also possess some element of irony in it.

that being said what is the element of irony in the metamorphosis? does one exist?

The irony is that the metamorphosis into a useless insect who directly causes the lives of the family to be worse than they would otherwise be is the cause of the entire family he had been providing for to themselves metamorphosise into far more independent and "better" human beings than they had been before the literal metamorphosis occurred.

he already was a bug

Sometimes when I kill a bug I'll wonder if it was a person, then I go about my day. Kafka is hilarious.

I'm so sick of people meming about "kafkaesque" as if kafka is the only thing the suffix "esque" can be applied to. Learn how to language.

-esque only means that a thing (X) has qualities similar to that of another thing (N) such that X is N-esque. The two don't need to share all qualities, the qualities don't need to be rigorously defined and contrasted for the suffix to apply.

Of course you can further differentiate the two, compare and contrast, but as long as some notion of correlation applies then the suffix is valid for any two things.
