There are many, many different types of humor. Here are some of the more common ones.
Puns are a classic play on words that sound similar but have different meanings. For example, what do you have if you have 20 rabbits all in a row and they all back up one step? A receding hare line.
A practical joke is a joke put into action. A bucket spilling when a door is opened is an example of this.
A wisecrack is a clever remark about a person or a thing.
A parody is a humorous version of a well-known thing. "Saturday Night Live" often does these types of skits.

Irony is when you say the opposite of what you mean and the listener believes the opposite of what was said.
Banter is good-natured back and forth joking.
A caricature is a funny representation in art form of someone.
Sarcasm is where a witty remark, similar to a wisecrack, aimed at subtly implying the person to which the joker is referring is unintelligent.
e.g. Whats the fastest way to get to New York?
Are you travelling by car or by foot?
By car, obviously.
Then that's the fastest way.
(implies that the answer should be obvious as the question is unspecific.) Generally British humor incorporates this.

Why is the Simpson poular?
I believe that The Simpsons is so popular because its humor appeals to both children and adults making it a flexible show for everyone to watch. Additionally to the flexible humor, there are different types of humor, for example, people getting hit or people falling down but there is also a strong mix of intelligent humor differing it from other comedic cartoons. Hope this helps. God Bless.
