That one about depression is hilarious and also moving.

I don't know what that represented either, but I laughed out loud (the story about depression).

the other comics are much more funny, that one is a bit more real-lifey, for obvious reasons.

these ones are my favourites:

I I had to pick something to represent what I find funny it would be either this:

(minus the fart reference)

or pretty much every moment of this show:

I love all kinds of humor. I even like to study the history and psychology behind it.

There's a few things that I don't find funny or humorous, but it's usually poor execution rather than poor content.

It's not always just shock or unexpectedness. There's a whole context to why something is humorous. Irony is quite delicious though and can be quite broad and far reaching, such that even a response or punchline that is appropriate and sensible turns out to be humorous in the context that humor is often not 'straight'.

One example is:
What did the farmer say when he couldn't find his tractor?

"Where's my tractor?"

This uses other jokes as a meta sense to create irony. On the surface it's just not funny, but in a meta sense it is ironic because it's a straight and sensible answer where straight and sensible answers often don't occur.

Evolutionary humor.

I've seen her other, funnier stuff, but I wanted to say that this one in particular was quite, I don't know...emotional. Poignant. It's kind of sad!

I applaud her creativity.

I like absurd humour, sitcoms, stand-ups, irony with day-to-day life, word plays etc...

INTP: I like humour that is absurd or surreal deviating from my normal appreciation of things fitting together logically.

I can certainly relate to that.

Also, I love sarcasm. Satire is my favorite genre of literature. Some satirists I am particularly fond of:
Oscar Wilde
Miguel de Cervantes
Molière
Jonathan Swift
Voltaire
Mark Twain
Woody Allen
Jane Austen
etc.
