Answer 1

Paradox

Explanation:

Paradox: a statement apparently contradicting itself.  The first half of the sentence says 'we had nothing to do', while the last half contradicts it with 'we did it very well'. 

Anticlimax: is the arrangement of a series of words,  phrases, or clauses in order of decreasing importance.
