Arab humor refers to the various forms of humor that exist within the Arab world. It is an important aspect of Arab culture and reflects the complexities and nuances of the Arab world. Arab humor is known for being witty, clever, and sarcastic. It often involves wordplay, puns, and irony.[1][2] One common form of Arab humor is political satire, where political leaders and public figures are ridiculed and criticized through humor. This type of humor can be found in television shows, cartoons, and social media.[3] Arab humor also includes jokes that are based on social norms and traditions. These jokes often poke fun at things that are considered taboo or unconventional. For example, jokes about gender roles, and family dynamics are common.[4]
