With verbal irony, you say one thing and mean another. Situational irony occurs when what actually happens is not what was expected. When a narrative is used in a drama to give the audience more information, then that can supply dramatic irony.
An example of irony comes from the plot of the movie The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

It is like a verbal knife that cuts and drives a point home. Sometimes it is humorous in the way it makes its point; other times it is serious and painful. You will understand sarcasm better after reading the following quotes: 

• "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time." - Vince Lombardi 
• "A modest little person, with much to be modest about."- Winston Churchill 
• Oscar Wilde wrote, "I am not young enough to know everything." 
• "I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception." - Grouch Marx

You could write about yourself. Pick some funny habits or quirks you have and write away. Readers can often identify with your problems or reactions and that will be entertaining to them. 

You could also write about a person you know or someone famous. It's even better if you know someone famous. Don't act like a tabloid reporter; stick to general things, like the way they dress or things they have said. 

Politicians are great to satirize because they often make blunders in speeches. You might also consider major events that have recently happened. 

Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction. If you decide to write about unusual or weird facts, be sure and do your research and ake sure the fact is true.
