Fascinating work.

this is very similar to something i found in a book called the joy of work, by Scott Adams, author of dilbert. Specifically, the ‘two of six (dimensions of humour)’ rule: almost everything funny contains at least two of the following:
cuteness,
meanness,
bizarreness,
recognisability,
naughtiness
and/or
cleverness.

You are not only one person with this interest! I’m searching for different humour classification since my 10 years. (Not all of the time, of course, but time after time.)
This is first what i found(!)
My own classification is not done yet, i have some categories, but not all jokes what i hear can classifi. Still have work to do.

I like the idea a lot. Seems to be in line with how I think, at least…
besides, the examples have introduced me to a few new comics, most of which I’ll now be following.Thanks!

Another category could be “Reference”, or something along those lines; Jokes that people only enjoy because they reference a recognizable celebrity, politician, etc.
