A contrast or opposition between what happens and what is expected to happen. Usually for a humourous or emphatic response.

2 Types of Irony Situational Irony - when, in a situation, the exact opposite occurs than what was expected to happen. Ex. Cat chasing a dog; when your English teacher misspells s/t!! Verbal Irony - the exact opposite between what is said and what is meant. Ex. “Beautiful day outside!” When its raining.
