Summary/Abstract: In the presented article, we compare Slovak and American ethnic humor by studying ethnic jokes from both cultures. Since humor does not exist as an isolated phenomenon but is connected to the cultural context of a given community, first we describe basic characteristics of both Slovak and American cultures. Then, relying on our categorization of jokes with ethnicity and theoretical background from linguistics, linguistic anthropology, and humor studies, we analyze selected Slovak and American ethnic jokes and synthetize our findings.
