'humum' would be from 'humus', which means ground, earth, land. The form ending in -m (humum) is the accusative; what's needed here is the genitive (possesive form), which is 'humi' in the singular, and 'humorum' in the plural, meaning 'of the soil/s'. It still wouldn't actually mean anything much, because 'nullum sensum' is also in the accusative, so it's the object of the phrase, which has no subject. Perhaps one could understand 'habet', meaning 'he has' no sense of something, but sadly not 'humor' since that word doesn't appear to exist in Latin, and the etymology of the English word takes you quite a long way from its modern meaning. You might be able to have instead, nullum sensum comoediae habet, or ludi sensum non habet. I hope you enjoyed that little lesson, especially young Bipin.
