Japanese humor consists almost entirely of puns. I still remember the first joke I understood on a comedy show on Japanese TV:
Tired salaryman comes from after a long day at work, strips off clothes. His wife has prepared a hot bath, so he enters, pulls out a tub of kimchi (Jp. kimuchi) and blissfully exhales aah, kimochi ii ("feels good").
I don't know if I would generalize based on the prevalence of any particular style of humor on popular TV. Or I might think that English humor consists almost entirely of absurdist satire.
