Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is quite humorous in a bittersweet way. The couple's attempts to get each other the perfect gift lead to an unexpected and humorous outcome. Another one is 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County' by Mark Twain. The story of the frog - jumping contest and the wily character of Jim Smiley is really funny.
One characteristic is the use of irony. For instance, in many humorous short stories, characters' actions often lead to the opposite of what they expected, creating a funny situation. Another is the use of unique characters. They usually have some quirks or odd behaviors that make the story humorous, like the overly talkative or clumsy characters.

The short story 'The Lady, or the Tiger?' is somewhat humorous in a dark way. A young man is put in an arena where he has to choose between two doors, one with a lady and one with a tiger. The absurdity of the situation and the not - so - obvious ending make it an interesting and humorously thought - provoking story.

It's full of absurd and hilarious situations, like the concept of the 'Babel fish' which can translate any language when inserted into your ear.

Sure. One popular Indian humorous short story is about a clever villager named Mullah Nasruddin. In one story, Nasruddin is trying to sell his donkey. A man comes and asks if the donkey is in good health. Nasruddin says it can climb mountains. The man is interested but when he tries to make the donkey climb a small hill, it refuses. Nasruddin then says, 'I said it could climb mountains, not this little molehill.'
One famous humorous short story is 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry. It's about a young couple who are very poor but deeply in love. The wife cuts and sells her long, beautiful hair to buy a chain for her husband's precious watch. Meanwhile, the husband sells his watch to buy combs for his wife's hair. It's humorous in the way their selfless acts end up in a bittersweet situation.
