Think of it as different points (ideas) that get together in your brain with a line, ok? Your brain identify different things, and transform those things into ideas. These ideas let's say that are like floating in your mind, it's information you have there you can use, and when it's convenient, you basically tie together those ideas to get an answer. Let's say you have to start a fire, and you know that lighters give fire, so you look for a lighter and use it to start the fire. Simple enough right? If you didn't have any lighter, but could think by yourself that you can use a glass and the sun to create fire, then you would be using three ideas in your mind for a purpose. Everything at the end has a purposes so it can be satisfactory. You study, learn, pass your tests, feel good. You fail, you feel bad.
Now, what happens when different ideas get together for not real purpose? HUMOR, that's what happens.
Your brain manages to pick a few different ideas from your brain and get a result, but that result is stupid, it's something that you wouldn't want for yourself, something that goes beyond what's expected but is not harmful neither fearful, neither serious, or important, or anything. That creates comedy.
Now think of any show or any comedy you have seen in your life, and you will realize this is true.
>Any sitcom is always about a few characters with really clear personalities, let's say like the womanizer, or the intelligent, or the nerd, or whatever, and basically puts them in situations TOTALLY OPPOSITE to them. The nerd with cute girls, the womanizer with huge dudes, the intelligent working in a farm. Whatever, it will be funny, because it puts together ideas that have no correlation in a way that somehow match. You see how they get into those situations, so it's plausible, but even then it's not ideas that your brain would normally put together.
>Classic cartoons like the roadrunner and coyote were also like that. You get a basic idea like the carnivorous and dangerous coyote trying to eat his pray, then it fails EVERYTIME. The situations usually fails also in the most unexpected ways, to the points physics sometimes won't even work as expected. Like the coyote destroys the rocks in a cliff and the ENTIRE MOUNTAINS FALLS OFF THE CLIFF while just a few rocks remain there floating. It puts together a few ideas then develop them in ways unexpected. Your brain understand them but find that process to understand stupid and useless, so it laughs.
>REFERENCES. An usual kind of humor that works with normies are references. People imitating some other characters, or mentioning references to other movies or popular things. This is the same, it picks different ideas from different contexts, and introduces them in a new context that you don't expect. It's useless information, but your brain process that information, understand it, pick it from to different sources, and say, oh yeah I understasnd this! But it's useless information, but it creates that satisfaction when finding up that reference. This humor of course is really basic, and when the brain gets used to find those references or is not really fond of those references, would find it quite offensive instead
>PUNS! Puns are like the most basic example of this. Pick words that can mean two things or are realted in a sematic way to another, and use them. People will get it because they are normal everyday words, but they are out of their contexts, so your brain once again has to pick ideas from different places, put them together, and say, alright I understand this, but it is so lame, then you laugh. Of course puns sometimes can be the connection between ideas so simple that your brain won't really react as finding something new at all, so it won't laugh.
>Finally... SEX. Sex is the EASIEST way to do comedy. Realize how EVERYONE can make sex jokes. Why? Because as studies say, your brain is thinking about sex like... all the fucking time. So it's REALLY easy for the brain to get ideas together about sex. It's also that everyone thinks about, so it's universal humor, everyone will get it, everyone will laugh, unless they are really puritan or find something too much for their tastes, but that's like personal preferences.
