What are some examples of literary humor is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

Shin asked: Examples of irony, sattire, and other kinds of literary humor. References with chapter noted would be appreciated. I read the book up to chapter 23 like my teacher told me to. My final is coming up and I just want other people’s perspectives on this topic.
