suggestive humor

Winking adult jokes

Suggestive humor implies something risqué—usually sexual—without stating it directly.

The comedy comes from innuendo, double meanings, and what's left unsaid: His jokes were suggestive but never crossed into explicit territory.

Distinguished from outright dirty humor by its reliance on suggestion rather than graphic content.
