According to (former) Onion Editor-In-Chief Scott Dikkers

1. Irony – Intended meaning is opposite of literal meaning
2. Character – Comedic character acting on personality traits
3. Relatable – Common experiences that audiences can relate to
4. Shock – Surprising jokes typically involving sex, drugs, gross-out humor, swearing
5. Reference/Parody – Mimic a familiar character, trope or cliche in an unfamiliar way
6. Hyperbole – Exaggeration to absurd extremes
7. Wordplay – Puns, rhymes, double entendres, etc.
8. Analogy – Comparing two disparate things
9. Madcap – Crazy, wacky, silly, nonsensical
10. Meta-humor – Jokes about jokes, or about the idea of comedy
11. Misplaced Focus – Attention is focused on the wrong thing

Do you have a favorite "kind" of joke or is it more about the execution? Do you have a least favorite kind?

Do you agree with this theory of comedy or are there more types of joke?
