"Humorous" is a bit formal... we still use it sometimes, but usually written. "a humorous book/article" is a common way to use it. But if I said aloud "I read a humorous article." it might sound stiff. "I read a funny article." is more natural in modern speech.

my teacher ever told me“'humorous' is an old word，actually native speakers aren't always use it in daily spoken language，but 'funny' is okay.” Really？

btw，“it might sound stiff” ？If it's necessary that 'sound' need to be added a letter 's'？👉“It might sounds stiff.”？

It depends on the phrase: "It sounds like~" "That sounds~" you need 's' but, for "It will/might sound~ (strange, horrible, perfect etc)" no 's' is used.
