What artistic category does humor exist in?

Jokes, cross talks, comedies, pantomime. In the process of creating cross talk, the audience's aesthetic experience of language is fully considered. On the basis of fully understanding the essence of laughter, cross talk firmly grasps the "emotional impulse" of laughter, skillfully uses the humorous effect of "language deviation" through elaborate expression techniques, separates language from people's customary expressions, breaks the established thinking mode, and uses contradictory vocabulary and cognitive understanding to varying degrees, thus creating humorous artistic effects.

The use of language deviation in cross talk When using cross talk language, deviation is often intentional and temporary, which violates the typical characteristics of general language expression. Through some deviations, the humorous effect of language can be enhanced, so as to achieve different comic effects and arouse the audience's laughter.

Speaking of Peking man's humor, we have to mention cross talk:

There are actually many interesting things behind cross talk, a performance form that Beijing people are too familiar with. For example, how to write the word crosstalk? The first word of crosstalk is phase, and phase is actually appearance. In the jargon of cross talk, the face needs to be bought and sold, the muscles need to be relaxed, and the voice can keep up with the phase. So cross talk is based on phase and sound.

Although the word "Xiang Sheng" has become the word "cross talk", the earliest meaning of the word "Xiang Sheng" has not disappeared for a cross talk actor, but has been integrated into the performance. Now it is generally believed that crosstalk originated in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. However, there is also a saying that crosstalk appeared much earlier, about the Western Han Dynasty.
