I would say your first description describes "American humor" and the second description describes "Japanese humor" but it goes to show you that there is no one thing that is "British humor" or "American humor". I think for the most part when we don't get each other's jokes or humor it is because we are using unfamiliar words or talking about people or places we aren't familiar with.
