I dont think there are regional differences within US, of sense of humor...depends on the social circle... I doubt people in Idaho will elicit different responses to "something funny" than would people in the Carolinas...it'll depend on the individual
However, I think there are racial differences- Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans tend to have a different sense of humor.
Within other cultures with the same language though...indeed there's a British sense of humor, Australian sense of humor, which is indeed different from the overall US sense of humor
In Pittsburgh it's very sarcastic, sometimes dry, and often self-deprecating.
Seattle is sarcastic and dry, but usually deriding politicians and/or political process or the school board. There is some snark, but people in the workplace are very serious. People take things a little too seriously here.
In Cleveland, it was significantly more sarcastic and silly. But in Nashville it is significantly more dry humor and people don't understand sarcasm DOWN here.😂

No. It's not that we don't understand it. We just think it's kind of mean. So when you say something sarcastic, that blank look you get isn't incomprehension, but rather something along the lines of "What do I say in reply to this a-hole?"
Sarcasm isn't all that sophisticated, given how your average six-year-old is a master of it.

Well, humor in general isn't sophisticated and it's not mean. I guess you're sensitive.

Actually, well, you're wrong on both counts. Any idiot can be sarcastic. Good humor tends to be deeper, pulling out the ironies of life. I mean, all you have to do is read writers such as Twain or Benchley or a zillion others to know that.
