Well, first you need to make the dialogue engaging and reveal character personalities. Also, make sure it progresses the plot.
One such story could be 'The Colorblind World' which shows how a society without diversity leads to problems and starts a conversation about its importance.
Well, one characteristic is that the dialogue drives the plot forward. For example, in 'The Necklace' by Guy de Maupassant, the conversations between Mathilde and her friend at the beginning set up the whole situation of her envy and longing for a luxurious life, which leads to the borrowing of the necklace and the subsequent events.
One characteristic is the use of wordplay. For example, like the 'Peter Pan neverlands' joke. It twists a common concept in a clever way. Another is unexpected responses. In the 'dog has no nose' story, the response 'Terrible' is not what you'd first expect when asked 'How does it smell?'. And they often have a simple setup. Just a quick back - and - forth between two characters, like in the 'seafood diet' dialogue, which is easy to understand and gets the humor across quickly.
