“Humor Norms for 4,997 English Words”, Tomas Engelthaler, Thomas T. Hills2018 (, ; backlinks)⁠:

Humor ratings are provided for 4,997 English words collected from 821 participants using an online crowd-sourcing platform.

Each participant rated 211 words on a scale from 1 (humorless) to 5 (humorous). To provide for comparisons across norms, words were chosen from a set common to a number of previously collected norms (eg. arousal, valence, dominance, concreteness, age of acquisition, and reaction time). The complete dataset provides researchers with a list of humor ratings and includes information on gender, age, and educational differences.

Results of analyses show that the ratings have reliability on a par with previous ratings and are not well predicted by existing norms.
