American jokes tend to be sarcastic or cruel. English jokes tend to be funny.

Two Americans are talking. One asks: "What's the difference between capitalism and communism?"
"That's easy" says the other one. "In capitalism man exploits man! In communism it is the other way around!"And the first one concentrates intently - waiting for the rest of the joke.

Humour or humor is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. And to reply to the other question... it's an english joke. And english jokes tend to be sarcastic or "dry". :wtf:
We study and learn new things our whole life and yet we still die without knowing everything.

Did you hear that sound? It was a cultural reference going over your head. ;P Nagy is well aware that "humor" is the American spelling of humour. However, as an Englishman, he is obliged to pretend not to understand whenever anyone uses the American spelling of a word. It's the law - if we don't do it, the Queen will come round and have us executed for treason. And whilst Americans speak a (mangled) version of the English language, even they would object to being called "English people". As for Americans understanding sarcasm...
