Abstract: Humor is one of the most employed techniques in advertising. The present study examines the evolution of humor and humor styles through a content analysis of actual Super Bowl advertisements combined with a historical and cultural analysis of the American society for a 45-year period. The results suggest a continuous increase of advertising humor since its acceptance as an effective advertising strategy in the 80‘s. Furthermore, it is suggested that the use of general humor is independent from a society‘s macro-environment; it is, indeed, humor styles that are influenced by and that, in turn, influence the historical and cultural environment within which a society grows
