@Teeny💋 Well, my list would be looong and diverse, so...

Spontaneous humour that grabs me combined with physical humour (this can be as little as timing the speech and the look of the eyes and/or facial contortion, or as much as physical contortion of the body), and a splash of clever phrases well placed...

That combination is the mainstay of every belly laugh I've ever had and can be found almost anywhere when the actor is proficient at displaying the aforementioned attributes.

@ There is nothing like a REAL laugh, the deep belly laugh that is uncontrollable and has you crying and gasping for air. Wow it sounds awful describing it that way but it wonderful. I also get that same joy seeing someone else laugh that way, especially my husband. It makes me smile

City Slickers, Jack Palance & Billy Crystal... Billy says "Kill anybody today, Curly?", Jack's reply, "Day ain't over yet."

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza work in a Sake bar, Anna is very drunk at work.. again. When she's told off by her boss she slurs... "I am a strong, independent woman and I will get on the table and shake my tits to Rhi Rhi, it's my right. America! Feminism!" and then lifts her tits up with both hands. Her boss baffled at that... "Did you just life your tits up and say Feminism?"

A Fish Called Wanda, The best part is more the scene with Kevin Kline saying... I'm sorry.. for the first time and meaning it after he's attacked John Kleese in his home.
Also.. every time he says.. "Don't call me stupid"...and him Driving around London yelling "A**hole!" This is a laugh-fest of a film. "Avoid the green ones.. they're not ripe yet."

I hardly ever crack up laughing at a joke. What really get's me entertained the most, those scenes that causes some kind of pain, hilariously! Not something like somebody fixing to die or anything. Just something that out of the blue, unexpected sh*t. For example....

The 40 Year Old Virgin.. Steve Carell get's his chest hair waxed and yanked off.

The Rundown...Dwayne Johnson gets his ass handed to him by that small ass native. Also the scene with the baboons smiley .

So many other movies with funny sh*t like that. That's what I call "Milk Thru the Nose Funny" smiley

Since Team America was released, I can't take any big action movie seriously anymore - No matter from which country it originates from. I just hear the theme song playing in my head.

Cheesy, over-dramatic lines make me laugh out loud.

Also - Any movie or TV show that feels the need to explain really, really simple things as if they were talking to 8-year-olds.

If my husband and I are watching an action movie together you can bet one of us will sing the Team America song at least once lol. We also use it to describe the things we watch alone.

Him - "How was the movie?"
Me - "It was alright, a bit Team America, though"

@DemandingFemale "See, there are three kinds of people: d**ks, pussies and a***oles. Pussies think everyone can get along and d**ks just want to f**k all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your a***oles. And all the a***oles want is to sh*t all over everything. So pussies may get mad at d**ks once in a while because, pussies get f**ked by d**ks. But d**ks also f**k a***oles! And if they didn't f**k the a***oles, you know what you'd get? You'd get your d**k and your pu**y all covered in sh*t!"

Almost everything The Flash said or did in the movie Justice League cracked me up.

Every single time one hero was introduced to another hero in Infinity Wars. Actually, most of that movie was hilarious.

I'm not even sure what category that type of humor falls under?

I loved Madtv thought that was the funniest thing ever created! Loved SNL when Will and Kristen Wigg was in it but Kate McKennon is pretty funny, love old time comedians like Chevy Chase and Steve Martine love anything with Danny McBride and yes Paul Rudd and Melissa McCarthy.....thought Bridesmaids was one of the funniest movies ever.
Also like random funny clubs on YouTube normally of just stupid people just been themselves like this guy.......

I like humor from unexpected places. Like a character who is always serious suddenly being goofy and totally out of their usual character. IE: If Groot who only ever says I am Groot, suddenly gave a middle finger. I'd probably be rolling. I find Rick and Morty hilarious. The Orville has become my new favorite since it's premiere. Serious moments mixed with WTF is going on really? I love stuff like that. Movies along those lines of funny out of nowhere. I'm trying to think of an example but I've been on a sci-fi & fantasy binge for awhile. I guess Pineapple Express is the only comedy I can think of right now but I'm kinda rushing so.. lol

Lots of very different stuff. Especially if I’ve watched it with my son. We have the same sense of humour, except he’s a 21 year old male and laughs at some stuff that is too crude to be funny in my opinion. But things like Drax being invisible in Avengers Infinity War, or the Jeffery scene in Get Him to the Greek “Keep stroking the wall!”, Doug Glatt’s monkey / Pierce Brosnan dream speech in Goon: The Last of the Enforcers (omg just thinking about it, “Best Wishes, Doug Glatt”, makes me giggle). Johnny English lip syncing along while watching himself lip syncing Abba’s Does Your Mother Know while having been recorded on a hidden camera in his bathroom or him trying to find an E flat acapella to bounce the sound off the walls in the dark. Matthew Perry smashing into the screen door and then trying to talk to Bruce Willis and Amanda Peet in The Whole Nine Yards. And off the cuff things like nicknames, whether it was Sawyer’s many, many nicknames for everyone in Lost or Robert Downey Jr. ...
