There are two jokes here, but I can't understand them.

1. Q: What goes Oh, Oh, Oh?
A: Santa Claus walking ackwards.
2. Q:Have you seen Stevie Wonder's new car?
A: No, but neither has he.

Can you please help me find where the humor exists? THANKS!

***** NOT A TEACHER *****

(1) If he were walking forward, he would say "Ho." But he is walking backwards, so he says "Oh."

(2) Mr. Wonder, the singer, is blind.

I think the first one is very funny. I think the second one is tasteless.

Humor is not universal.
