What are some examples of Mercutio's jokes in Romeo and Juliet?
The pun: "Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down" (1.4.28). In Mercutio's view, Romeo's love-sickness is caused by a lack of sex; if he's just have some, he'd get over thinking that he needs to be in love.
What is the meaning of if love be rough be rough with love in Romeo and Juliet?
Mercutio says this; If love be rough with you, be rough with love; Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down. He is responding to Romeo's line, "Is love a tender thing? It is too rough, too rude, too boistrous, and it pricks like thorn." He is saying essentially that if love is making your life difficult, don't give in to love. Of course all of this talk of pricks and beating love down is suggestive, perhaps suggesting a way of not giving in to love. "If love be rough with you, be rough with love. Fight prick for prick and you beat love down." - Mercutio, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Mercutio is saying to Romeo, if love is hard on you then fight it. And if you fight enough you will win. and be happy again. This is a loose translation.

Is there anyone else that utters a malapropism in Romeo and Juliet besides the nurse?
Check out the Nurse in Act II Scene 4. Her most famous malapropism is "I desire some confidence with you." "Confidence" is a malapropism for "conference" but a surprisingly apt one since what the Nurse wishes to discuss is certainly confidential. She also says "I am so vexed that every part above me quivers" when she surely means "about me". And when she says "she hath the prettiest sententious of it", some have said that she really means "sentences". The modern English speaker has a tough time identifying malapropisms in our modern idiom (which is why they are ubiquitous), and it is even harder in Shakespeare where we cannot be exactly sure in some cases what word the idiom of the time might demand.
