With globalization, members of different cultures interact with each other more often today than ever before. The concept of humor is present in all human cultures, as it has been proven that the desire to use humor is universal for people all over the world. Despite the limited number of research works devoted to the study of cultural characteristics of humor, the existence of cross-cultural differences in the perception and use of humor cannot be denied. In recent years, culturally grounded characteristics of humor have attracted more and more interest among scholars who devote their work to the study of both broad and narrow aspects of this phenomenon. For example, researchers examine creativity and humor from a cultural perspective [1], pay special attention to the role of culture-specific social factors and their influence on humor perception and use [2], and there are also multifaceted studies of the cultural characteristics of humor that examine the messages hidden in humor, the relationship of humor to politics and history.
