Whats the difference between humor and comedy?

Question

Can anyone explain the difference in a few sentences? It would be greatly appreciated. At least in a paragraph or a little shorter.

Thanks

Answer 1

Humor refers to instances of behavior that make us human, one teacher goes so far as to say it is that quality which makes us laugh in the face of great sadness or danger.

Comedy is material which is based on ineptitude (clumsiness) and/or sex (courtship and mating) that makes us laugh at ourselves and others.
