Is there much of this type of thing hiding on PubMed?

Not a source I had previously associated with top-tier humor.

I believe every year The Canadian Medical Association Journal publishes a mostly-humorous edition around Christmas. And there's a long history of satire in NEJM, BMJ, The Lancet, etc
