The joke is that the lover, who goes around sighing and emoting, would write a woeful Ballad for his mistress eyebrow. Eyebrow is chosen because it is ridiculous and shows how ridiculously lovers behave when in love.

What are 3 ways Shakespeare is insulting his mistress in the sonnet?

If you mean Shakespeare's sonnet 130 (My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun) - Shakespeare does not insult his mistress anywhere in this sonnet. The plain sense of the sonnet is that Shakespeare is saying: 'Other poets write about girlfriends with skin whiter than snow, lips redder than coral, and voices sweeter than music: but my girlfriend is better than that.' If your teacher thinks that Sonnet 130 insults the woman it is written about - then your teacher should not be teaching poetry (any more than an Intelligent Design advocate should be teaching Biology). End of.

What does shakespeare mean in his sonnet when he says my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun?

All the other guys were writing sonnets saying, "My mistress's eyes are like the sun, her hair like fire, her lips like cherries, her cheeks like the petals of roses." Shakespeare says, "Ever hear the word 'cliché'? Rather than use these old, stale, tired metaphors, Shakespeare renounces them and says, "My mistress's eyes are like eyes actually, not the sun." She is a real woman, which means that she is not perfect or superhumanly beautiful, but, says Shakespeare, "I think my love as rare as any she belied with false compare."--she is more beautiful than any other real woman (who has probably been told she has eyes like the sun).
