All right?

"Well, that was interesting all right."

Could you tel me what the "all right" means in here? I found it more like an ironic usage than usual one. Thanks in advance!

So you can say "This curry is delicious all right" in the meaning of "This curry is very delicious" not in an ironic context?

When I clicked on the video, I got the message, "This video is not available in your country". Interesting.

I was able to access the transcript, but I wasn't able to get the full flavor of the passage from it. I suspect it's more important to hear it and see it in the context of the video.

No, that wouldn’t be very natural.

All right is commonly used to emphasize one’s certainty about something, as in:

Are you sure that’s her?
It’s her all right. I’d never forget those eyes.
