you can find an article (by Hershey H. Friedman, Linda W. Friedman, and Taiwo Amoo) on Using Humor in the Introductory Statistics Course, Journal of Statistics Education Volume 10, Number 3 (2002).
This paper discusses reasons for using humor in the statistics classroom. Humor strengthens the relationship between student and teacher, reduces stress, makes a course more interesting, and, if relevant to the subject, may even enhance recall of the material.
