Mercutio in Act II Scene 4: "By Jesu, a very good blade! a very tall man! a very good whore!" He is satirizing the a"antic, lisping, affecting fantasticoes" who overused the word "very", which meant "truly" at that time, not "extremely". It has since changed meaning as a result of the efforts of the "fantasticoes".
Dramatic irony occurs when a character in a play or story acts or speaks on the basis of his or her understanding of things, which the audience knows to be false, and it is apparent that this discrepancy will work against the character. If the hero says "Safe at last!" when the audience can see the shambling Zombies approaching from the rear, his statement is ironic because the audience knows that the hero's understanding of things and its expression is false, and his illusion of safety is dangerous.
Is there dramatic irony in the first act of Romeo and Juliet? Actually, no. For example, in Scene 2, Benvolio encourages Romeo to attend the Capulet feast because his crush Rosaline will be there. Because of the extremely vague and undefined popular use of the word "irony" (used as a kind of synonym for "incongruity") some people might think that it is ironic that Romeo should go to the party to meet Rosaline and meet the girl who will make him forget about Rosaline. But the definition of dramatic irony is specific and clear. What does Romeo know? There is a party, and Rosaline will be at it, and therefore he wants to go. That is all true, as the audience well knows. There is no dramatic irony here.
What about when Tybalt and Capulet argue at the party? Tybalt says that Romeo is a Montague and he ought to fight him because he has come to fleer and scorn at the Capulets. OK, we know that's not the real reason he is there, but we also know that Tybalt thinks that whatever the Montagues do is to fleer and scorn at him, so there is no sense that it will backfire on him. On the other hand, Capulet says Romeo is a good guy, which is true. Although you might say that his decision to allow Romeo to stay will backfire on him (it will ultimately lead to the death of his only child), his decision is not based on a misunderstanding of how things are. So, no dramatic irony.
Of course, Romeo and Juliet is full of dramatic irony, but it all comes later in the play. When Romeo believes Juliet to be dead and kills himself because he will never see her again, while the audience knows she is not dead, there is a belief held by Romeo which the audience knows to be false, but which causes him to do something contrary to his interests. That is dramatic irony.
Romeo is in love with Rosaline at the opening of the story. He sees Juliet at a party and falls in love with her. Benvolio is unaware of this. An example of dramatic irony.
The entire play is satire.
