Gentle humor is a kind of humor that makes you chuckle or giggle a bit. You know the kind of joke you tell around a group of people and they laugh a little but sometimes you got this guy who has a terrible laugh and no one laughs because of the one guy.

I would offer a slightly different view - where the humour is at the expense of no-one and is likely to offend no one. The sort of humour you might tell a maiden aunt, vicar and your 10 year old daughter - in front of the one legged black lesbian with a speach impediment. Something to offend no-one. Possibly unlike this explanation. An example of gentle humour might be: To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

How is American sense of humor different from Mexican sense of humor?

The difference is mainly the British's exaggerated use of sarcasm. American humor is more gentle and mild where the British humor is crude and in most cases rather mean.I wouldn't say that American humour is mild, at all. From what I have seen in films and on T.V. it uses physical comedy more than English humor does. English humour is sarcastic, but isn't crude or mean in most circumstances, it seems more cleverly worded humour.
