The Funny Story of Jocose

When you need a word to describe something (or someone) that causes or is intended to cause laughter, you might pick jocose or a synonym such as humorous, witty, facetious, or jocular.

Witty suggests cleverness and a quick mind, while facetious is a word for something that is not meant to be taken seriously.
