Dry Humour is a joke or story with no punch line and maybe a little irony.
example:
A farmer plowed his fields using only one horse. Yet as he plowed, he yelled to the horse, "Giddyup, Jack!" "Giddyup, Mick!" "Giddyup, Casey!"
A stranger passing by stopped the farmer. "I couldn't help overhearing you shout to your horse," he said, "and I'm curious. How many names does your horse have?"
The farmer laughed good-naturedly and replied, "Oh, his name is Jack."
Then the farmer's voice dropped to a conspirational whisper. "But he doesn't know his own strength. So I put blinders on him and yell all those other names. This way he thinks he has other horses helping him

When you tell a joke with a cracker in your mouth.
Making a joke out of boring things that people say which don't always seem funny to the person you returned the dry humour too.

Something said, which is funny, but the person saying it does not smile or do anything to show that what they have said should be funny.
Like- I go into a pub with a friend of mine who is wonderful at dry humour. We are standing there in a crowd of men and women at the bar. He says "**** like coconuts!"
They all turn round to look, in disgust, at who would he be talking about?
And he just keeps on talking to me (in a loud voice), and says---
"And peanuts, and bread and birdseed.........etc! I like to put food out for all the birds in the garden...
The looks on the faces!
That is dry humour.

Deadpan (also known as Dry Humour) is a form of comedic delivery in which something humorous is said or done by a person, while not exhibiting a change in emotion or facial expression.

Humour that is sarcastic, kind of put downish and not really very funny because it can be offensive....thus they call it "dry"...you know the type you would say "hardy, har, har" to. LOL

Dry humor is mildly funny. It doesn't get the belly laughs.

Sarcasm. Jokes that to most people are not very funny unless you get the inferred punchline.
