Q&A: Can someone please tell me how Mark Twain was humorous?

Who did he mad fun of? Besides the humor in his novels, The Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I need something about his humor when it came to other things, like his lectures, etc. I need some long answers please.

The following is the answer:

Answer by Mr. Smartypants
I can’t understand someone not seeing the humor in -most- of Mark Twain’s stuff. Its an old fashioned kind of humor, but you can’t miss it.

One of my favorites is Roughing It. I take that book on every vacation because once you’ve read it you can just open it at random and every chapter stands by itself. Read what he though about Mormonism when he traveled through Utah. Read about his short stay working in the gold fields of California. Read about Jim Blaine’s grandfather’s story of his old ram. Tell me that’s not funny!

Years ago, Hal Holbrook did a one-man show called Mark Twain Tonight. See if you can find it. He impersonates Mark Twain and reads some of his stories and makes them even funnier. There was an album of it (back in the vinyl days).

If you read 20th century American humorists–James Thurber, Robert Benchley, Frank Sullivan, H Allen Smith, S.J. Pearlman, etc. etc., they all owe a debt to Mark Twain. He more or less defined the ‘American’ style of humor.
