Humor (British English) or humor (American English; see spelling differences) is the tendency of experiences to provoke laughterand provide amusement.
The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humours (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion.
People of all ages and cultures answered to humor. Most people are able to experience humor, smile or laugh at something funny-and are considered to have a sense of humor.
The hypothetical person lacking a sense of humor would likely find the behavior inducing it to be inexplicable, strange, or even irrational.

For example, young children may favor slapstick such as Punch and Judypuppet shows or the Tom and Jerry cartoons, whose physical nature makes it accessible to them.
By contrast, more sophisticated forms of humor such as requires an understanding of its social meaning and context, and thus tend to appeal to a more mature audience.
