No, it's irony. I don't know what "hypocracy" is, but hypocrisy would be if he said "No one should post retarted noobish posts" and then went ahead and made a retarded noobish post. The definition of hypocrisy is "The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness." Which is clearly not the case here. The second definition for "irony" is
a) Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs: “Hyde noted the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most hated” (Richard Kain).
b) An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.
Which clearly exists in King's remark. It is an occurrence of incongruity between what might be expected of him and what he actually said. What we would expect of King of course is "I'm a noob, I suck, I have nothing substantial to add to anything, and the only people who find me funny are the British who by definition are a humorless people."
