Does God ever tell jokes? Is he a satirist? How does humour in heaven differ from here?
God must have a sense of humour. He made you .yeah heard that one. A lot of my humour is based on anxiety. Fear of life. Fear of death. But God doesn’t get anxious, does he. So His humour must be different.
The guy with the God handle on Twitter makes some tasteless jokes, But occasionally he nails it… Its funny to think that God might be a grumpy old man who is easily irritated.
So I am looking forward to humour in heaven.
But first I have to get there.

He made the platypus… that’s a practical joke if there ever was one! He definitely has a good sense of humor.
 
Actually are there instances of humour in the Bible that gives us some hints?
 
Some black humor in the OT.

In Daniel 13 the words for the trees Susanna’s accusers say the saw her under and the way they diedare very similar in the original language.

Haman is hung on the gallows he made for Mordacei in Esther.
 
The rings of Saturn.

Sun Spots.

How Holograms Work

If you want to see a hologram, you don't have to look much farther than your wallet. But the most impressive holograms are large scale and illuminated with lasers or displayed in a darkened room with carefully directed lighting. Learn how a hologram, light and your brain work together make...

Didn’t Aretha Franklin sing that song?

I don’t get the humour in that.

There are things that we just don’t get.

As if, God says: “Go figure that one out”.

I reminded
Mathew 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

It seems that Jesus was sometimes inherent the sense of humor, as well.

Gen 17
17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

Gen 18
12 So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have grown old, and my husband is old, shall I have pleasure?” 13 The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too wonderful for the Lord? At the set time I will return to you, in due season, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied, saying, “I did not laugh”; for she was afraid. He said, “Oh yes, you did laugh.”

For some reason that makes me laugh.

16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Great post imho! 👏👏👏
It makes me laugh too because hm… it really looks like He’s not easily amused or we don’t share the same sense of humor since He didn’t know why was there laughter. 🤦‍♀️ I would’ve been scared too instead of Sarah.
 
Sometimes, He puts us in a headlock and uses His knuckles to rub on the top of our heads. “Affectionate teasing.”
 
Another not dark one from Esther, but not sure this would be God humor:

Vashti is punished for not presenting herself before the King by not being permitted to present herself before the King.
 
The writer of Jonah had a wicked sense of humour. That Book and story is a kind of satire I was informed.
