Irregular comparatives are forms of adjectives that do not follow the standard rules of comparison by simply adding "-er" for the comparative or "-est" for the superlative. Instead, they have unique forms that must be memorized. For example, "good" becomes "better," and "bad" becomes "worse." These irregular forms can vary widely and are exceptions to the typical patterns used in the English language.
The irregular form of "good" is "better" for the comparative degree and "best" for the superlative degree. Unlike regular adjectives that form comparatives and superlatives by adding "-er" or "-est," "good" changes its form entirely. This makes it an example of an irregular adjective in English.
Because "worse" is already the comparative form of "bad". Most comparatives in English are formed by adding the suffix "-er" to the adjective. But in the case of "good" and "bad", they are so commonly used that the ancient irregular comparatives "better" and "worse" continue to be used. Little children sometimes try to assimilate the irregular form to the regular one by adding "-er" to worse. But they are usually cured of this error by the time they are 4 or 5.

Depends what you mean by 'irregular'. The basic rule is to add '-er' for comparatives and '-est' for superlatives. BUT: (i) If the adjective ends in '-y' (e.g. 'happy', 'silly'), the 'y' changes to 'i' (both for comparatives and superlatives), thus 'happiest', 'silliest'. (ii) Generally, if the word has more than two syllables (e.g. 'wonderful' or 'eccentric', for example), because adding '-er' or'-est' sounds clumsy, the rule is to add 'more' (comparative) or 'most' (superlative) before the adjective in question. Thus 'more wonderful/most wonderful', 'more eccentric/most eccentric'. I think there are one or two other rules which escape me at the moment.
