They often have a simple setup. Just a few characters or a single situation is enough. For instance, in the story of the snail getting mugged by turtles, there are only three characters involved. And humor can come from wordplay too. Sometimes, a play on words can create a really funny moment in a humorous short story. They also tend to be relatable in some way, even if the situation is very strange, like the man thinking he was a chicken which can make us think about how our minds can play tricks on us.
They often have unexpected twists. Such as in the story 'A man told his doctor that he wasn't able to do all the things around the house that he used to do. When the examination was over, he said, 'Now, Doc, I can take it. Tell me in plain English what is wrong with me.' 'Well, in plain English,' the doctor replied, 'you're just lazy.' Here, the doctor's response is the unexpected part.
