Ok,I got assignment from my literary class about the difference between joke and humor.
Is joke the part of humor? Is it the action that you do to create humor?

A joke 1s either something said to make people laugh (as short as a word or as long as a story) or a prank played on a person or persons. Each one is a type of humor.

A Web search on "types of humor" will help you put these verbal and physical jokes in the context of other types of humor. One concise, clear explanation I found through such a search is at the link below.
