I’m often concerned that I’ve used the “wrong” kind of humour in a situation. Any links at your fingertips that address situations like that?

One of the things we recommend at work to our clients is to go find some fun (or terrible) jokes and then tell them to someone over the phone or on a video call.

One of my personal favorites is the dad joke contest videos on youtube.

I've used humor to inoffesively decline things [I have allergies] or correct behavior/assumptions (like a mixup with metric and imperial measurements).

Having a sense of humor is something I used to place at a premium in myself and others and now I don't. I'm not sure what happened exactly, but quieter, more serious people are who I like now. :/ I like your post and the links, though.
