If I want to make my ENTJ friend laugh, I trap her in my Beetle, then drive around and around and around in tiny circles until we both feel like we're going to die. Has a clown car sort of appeal to it. 
She's normally a bit reserved, although her humor is very subtle and ludicrous, so being trapped in a little car, hurtling around a parking lot seems to amuse her.

Similarities of ENTJ's and ENTP's:
+ Both make primarily intellectual jokes
+ Both are dead on.. deductively accurate
Differences:
+ ENTJ jokes are more opinion-based
+ ENTP jokes are more socially acceptable (toned-down), that's how we can insult someone, but in a playful way.. ENTJ's don't insult playfully, they pulverize.
+ ENTP's joke more often.. practically all the time.
+ ENTJ's are more serious and their jokes are more subtle, yet direct (it's harder to decipher when they are joking, generally)
That's really all I can think of right now.
Oh man, they got the food chain wrong. It's SJ's before SP's, but that's alright, they're pretty far down from 'alpha type' so it's trivial.

ENTP's Are The Best
ENTP sense of humour
We do the 'tongue in cheek' thing on a regular basis. When we do, ENTJ's as often as not, think we're being serious. But ENTJ's aren't the only ones who do that. I'm not saying we're not arrogant as a type in general, or denying that arrogance is a flaw to which we're particularly prone. But I am saying that a lot of what we say is falsely attributed to arrogance, when in fact, it's simply humour - just being silly - and in fact quite the opposite of arrogance - we're mocking ourselves

ooh. that's true. -i maybe not as detailed or anything but
to my knowledge:
entp's laugh at fart jokes with meh and and entj's don't (or else thier social status is ruined...)...
entj's are also corney sometimes and find strange things funny...

lol i see...
that's true, my entp sister hates sexual humor and my mom (ENTJ) uses it 0.o... to my surprise...
for an example- i was watching a night in the museum or something and when that guy said "don't slap that monkey" or something like that, my mom burst out laughing along with me (though... my mom seemed to find it more funny then i did- for she wouldn't stop laughing -.-) while my entp sister complained that they couldn't put that in a kid show.

You are delineating between purely sexual humor and crude humor , correct? It seems to me that ENTJ humor is more nuanced, not as blunt force with the punch line, per se, as with ENTP humor. I've had an ENTP friend of mine call me up just to afflict me with jokes from a Playboy solely because he knows I detest it, but my ENTJ friend gets a bit red faced if that sort of thing is even hinted at in his presence.

i agree i've noticed how most entj's use sexual humor... well it seems they bring sex in almost every topic
Both types seem to enjoy word play.
Both types are both socially charming.
Both types are incredibly nerdy.
To be honest I'd rather deal with an ENTJ on a daily basis. There's no need to tolerate each other because an ENTJ has no need to tolerate, the ENTJ is ready for a fight anytime anywhere. I have nothing to say about ENTPs.
It's just the differences between P/J I guess.

hahaaha yes they are incredibly nerdy:yim_rolling_on_the_ . actually it depends but anyway I think a simlar dynamic exists between enfp/enfj humor as well. I tend to be either subtle and direct or.. DIRECT. of course I mean it in a playfull way

Interesting.....female ENTJ here. Don't care about word play (but am blunt and to the point!). Socially charming...uh....maybe if I wanted to be, but for the most part...this is who I am...like it or lump it. Incredibly nerdy...I don't know about other ENTJs (male or female), but I am about as far removed from being a nerd...as one could get. Nerd is one word that could and would not describe me. When I think of the nerds that I know...they are either INTJs or INTPs. I'm sure that there are always the exceptions.

I agree with most that ENTJs are sarcastic while ENTPs are goofy.
INTJs who frequent here are sarcastic but also kinda goofy, while INTPs seem to be rather dry and it's difficult to tell whether or not they're joking.
N types in general tend to be better at and more appreciative of wordplay and taking words out of their intended meaning.
