Question

The third night the house was crammed again – and they warn’t new-comers this time, but people that was at the show the other two nights. I stood by the duke at the door, and I see that every man that went in had his pockets bulging, or something muffled up under his coat – and I see it warn’t no perfumery, neither, not by a long sight. I smelt sickly eggs by the barrel, and rotten cabbages, and such things; and if I know the signs of a dead cat being around, and I bet I do, there was sixty-four of them went in. I shoved in there for a minute, but it was too various for me; I couldn't stand it.
What makes this passage humorous?

the fact that the entire house is crammed with new people who have come to see the show

the idea that Huck is comparing the townspeople to sixty-four dead cats

the fact that the entire town has paid to see the “show” again, but this time they’re bringing things to throw at the duke and the king

the image of Huck standing next to the duke by the door trying to shove himself in with the rest of the audience

Answer 2

Answer:

the fact that the entire town has paid to see the “show” again, but this time they’re bringing things to throw at the duke and the king

Explanation:

You can confirm this by checking this part of the excerpt:

"and they warn’t new-comers this time, but people that was at the show the other two nights"

So, those were the people that were there a second time. No newcomers. And what they were carrying is described right after:

"I stood by the duke at the door, and I see that every man that went in had his pockets bulging, or something muffled up under his coat – and I see it warn’t no perfumery, neither, not by a long sight. I smelt sickly eggs by the barrel, and rotten cabbages, and such things"
