Answer:

Burlesque is the humor based on the ridiculization of a topic to the point of making it humurous.

Explanation:

In order to create a burlesque humor you need to take a topic or an issue to the point of ridicule, or ridiculization is what makes it funny or humorous and that is what would make somthing humorous, in Huckleberry Finn when Finn is sold to the slavers and Huck tries and decides to go and rescue him, the phrase "All right then, I’ll go to hell!" and... "steal Jim out of slavery.” is one of the examples of burlesque humor.
