situational irony
when what happens is the opposite of what the author leads you to believe would happen
ex. in a movie where the cop ends up being the thief the police are looking for
verbal irony
irony in which a person says or writes one thing and means another, or uses words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of the literal meaning.
ex. "This is another day of great Buffalo weather!" (during a snowstorm)
