Humor logic mechanism classification

For a humorous tweet, this task is to predict the mechanism by which the tweet conveys humor from a predefined set of categories:

• Absurd: Humor comes from a logical inconsistency in the reasoning.
• Analogy: It is a comparison between dissimilar elements.
• Embarrassment: In the punchline one of the participants shames or embarrasses another one.
• Exaggeration: There is a situation or comparison that is exaggerated.
• Insults: There are insults to the characters in the joke or to real life people.
• Irony: They say something but mean the opposite, or they describe a contradictory situation.
• Misunderstanding: Humor comes from a participant understanding a question or a situation wrong.
• Parody: The text is similar to another known text or work (for example a song, a saying, or a movie dialog) but it is modified to make it humorous.
• Reference: It describes a real life situation, generally mundane, that the reader might relate to or not, but when the reader does identify with the situation it results in a humorous effect .
• Stereotype: Humor comes from using a social group, ethnicity or profession to remark on a stereotypical characteristic.
• Unmasking: Humor comes from a character acting in a certain way and later showing that their intentions or characteristics were different than initially thought.
• Wordplay: Uses word ambiguity, made up words or combinations of words to give a humorous sense.
