The connection between humor and learning is well known. Unexpected juxtaposition is the basis of a lot of humor, and even more learning.
It can be physical, musical, verbal, mathematical, but basically what it means is that unexpected combinations or outcomes can be funny. There are funny chemistry experiments, plays on words, math tricks, embarrassingly amusing stories from history, and there are parodies of famous pieces or styles of art and music.
