"Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo." "No, stupid," Leo said. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.”

What type of literary humor device would this be (if any). Please explain, even if its short.

What I need if this isn't going to work (from Percy Jackson PLEASE)
-Hyperbole
-Situational Irony

BTW it has to be funny

I’m pretty sure that’s comic relief. It means that It is A humorous or farcical interlude in a serious literary work or drama, especially a tragedy, intended to relieve the dramatic tension or heighten the emotional impact by means of contrast.
