the original editor-in-chief of The Onion back in the 1980s, when they actually printed satirical newspapers, had a philosophy, that there are only 11 types of joke (each one of the examples below is an Onion headline from back in the day, forgive me for they are corny)

1. Irony – Intended meaning is opposite of literal meaning
