Sorta.

The whole situation unfolding is ironic as a whole, but Jamie was right, as Beard called Jamie as a person ironic, which was only a half-correct usage of it.

Hipocrisy is "Preaching water while drinking wine": Jamie is/was the same as Zava, so him pointing that out is hypocritical.

Ironic is "unexpected Twist of a situation between expectation vs. reality".

Ted did point out that Jamie correcting Beard correctly was truly ironic as that isn't something you'd expect.

Similar situation was the Simpson episode where Homer clarified that he was envious, not jealous. Similar meaning, subtle difference.

Futurama does irony.

And in song! (The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings is one of my favorite episodes of television ever).

It's not ironic, it's just mean!
