This sounds interesting, do you remember specific examples?
I guess what I meant was humor as a recognizable code, something you can tell you're supposed to respond in a certain way, when the music goes out of its way to spell out that "this is the funny bit"... I obviously overgeneralized, there's no way those codes would be remotely comparable in classical music and in campy rock from the late 20th century.
