good-humored

Whatever his flaws, Joe Biden is soft-spoken, humble, thoughtful, generous, profoundly decent and good-humored, qualities he shares with Lincoln, whose character was forged in poverty, struggle, grief and solitary study.

With his nice-white-guy face and good-humored stage presence, Buttigieg remains a master of camouflage even now, the Zen master who can disarm an opponent in a single “did you see that?” move.

His tender, good-humored nature also stands in opposition to Fritz’s tough expectations, demanding his sons always wear a stoic mask of machismo.

He seems relatively good-humored about the fact that his last name is most familiar because of other people who share it.
