Thread: What sort of humour is this?

What sort of humour is this?
Some mates and I have been fooling around with this type of humour for the last decade or so, and we’ve come to wondering how we should categorise it. There’s pun in there, but it goes a little further than that by using nouns as verbs. The best examples are:
Most people, when asked who their favourite artist is, Picasso.
In the late 90s I was asked who should run for the President of East Timor. “I think Jose Ramos Horta”, I replied. (Spanish/Portuguese pronunciation required)
As we get older I think in our blood tests they should testosterone.
Would you lower back pain?
Someone who is normally quite sharp asked me recently how a guillotine works. "Simple", I said, "you razor blade".
I thought that the keyboards bands used in the 60s were just "organs", but maybe they Wurlitzers.
If you were going to rate film directors out of ten, what would you Scorcese?
I was thinking... sometimes men are supposed to be sexually indiscriminate, but you have to draw the line somewhere. I mean, would you rutabaga?
And my personal favourite:
I’d hate to diabetes.
So, how would you categorise it? All additions to the genre welcome.

Reminds me of my sister's one-time favourite joke. Woman walks in to a chemist shop for a bar of soap and is asked, "plain or scent?"
She answers, "No, I'll carry it myself".
She never did have much of a sense of humour.Cheers,
Jim

FF it's very subtle and clever humour. For that reason I don't think it would appeal to the Y Genners, they can't read anything with more than four letters and at least one letter has to be substituted with a number

Well, this a very true story (and one we must all have shared at one time or another.)
I was in a dental chair once in rather bad pain from the dentist's brutal attentions. As a consequence, I didn't know whether to sense organ, dentition, cast iron stomach or root canal therapy!

The difference between a canary is that one leg is yellow and the other is also red.
Makes no sense at all!
