What do you mean by a sense of humor? Sarcasm? No, God was not sarcastic. Joy? Yes absolutely God was joyful. Did Jesus walk around telling one liners as he and the apostles traveled form town to town? Probably not.
This. There is joy and revelry, but not humor.

Another one: the life of reign of King Saul has humor in it.
He was the tallest man in Israel, supposed to be a great warrior yet we see him:
Lose his uncle’s donkey
hiding in armor in front of his whole town because he was scared to be king
dressed a pre-teen kid in his armor to fight the biggest philistine even though it was obviously his place to do so
constantly, and I mean constantly, missed David with his spear

Another example:
Elijah talked some major shite to the prophets of Baal during the showdown on Mt Carmel.
When the prophets of Baal were trying to call down fire, Elijah let them go on all day while talking smack to them.
At one point he yells to them that maybe Baal isn’t answering because he is off taking a shite

The only thing that I could think of would be that Man, being made in God's image could indicate that a sense of humor is something from the divine creator (or it is based in sin).
Also, Psalm 126, “when the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion…our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with shouts of joy." Is laughter an indication of humor?

Believing in a creator of the universe is funny, dipshits thinking they know what that fake entity feels and believes is even funnier. Scary, but funny that they troll us so hard.

She was referring to Isaac (whose name means laughter)
There was humor in this old woman getting pregnant past menapause with a old man who might have a difficult time at game time.
ETA: and Balaams donkey already we mentioned

There's all kind of stuff. For one, He has to laugh His arse off every time he thinks about all the people who believe Noah could fit a pair of each of Earth's millions of species onto one ark, no matter how many cubits long.

Believers are admitting they don't know these things... but He has told us much of what he feels.
Calling people 7th grade names for believing differently than you is immature and close-minded.
It's awesome you have all of the answers.

He is making a joke people who live in Israel get
The places that flood in the desert are called Wadis. Places of sand in valleys that quickly flood when rains come (interesting fact: number one cause of death in the desert is actually drowning due to this)
He is jokingly saying (in our world): not making God’s word a priority would be like a guy being dumb enough to build his house in front of the Bonnett Carre Spillway.
quote:
“"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."” ??
Matthew? ?7:24-27? ?ESV??

It's a romance and a horror story at the same time.

It's not an open and shut case, but the Bible says that man was made in "His image" (not speaking in the physical sense). It seems that humor is a big part of the human experience, and its logical to extend that to God.
I would think for God, the overriding qualities would be more His justice, love and compassion. Humor to me is related to joy, which the Bible says that God delights in His creation. I have to think its not too different from the way that I can't stop smiling/laughing when my 8 month old daughter smiles back or does something I find funny. Or when my 6 year old tries to do the floss for the first time.

Exodus 32:24
"I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them tear it off.' So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."
Aaron defending himself after making the golden calf (when Moses was on Mt. Sinai)
Moses was like “dude, you’re my brother, your JOB was to make sure this stuff didn’t happen!”
And Aaron was like “I don’t know what happened, those people just handed me their gold, so I tossed it in that fire over there and a cow popped out”
