Humcor (Corpus Oral Multimodal de Humor en Español) is an online corpus specifically designed for the study of humor in Spanish. It is a database of humorous texts that include genres such as jokes, monologues, sketches, and ventriloquists, in two main formats (visual and auditory), sourced from television and radio programs. This corpus includes materials from every decade since 1900 and covers a period of more than 120 years (1900–2024). Additionally, it provides a broad and diverse representation of Spanish varieties, both from Spain and various regions of Latin America.

Humcor can be accessed through the search tool available here, using both basic and advanced filters. In addition to being available in video and audio files, the materials have been transcribed and tagged to facilitate their consultation. The code assigned to each file, the transcription rules, and the tagging system used can be found at the following link.
