Great List!
I enjoy Dry Humor, Random Humor and Wit (such as clever one-liners.
My father always has a humourous line for almost everything and every situation. I find myself saying things like that once-in-awhile. I just excuse myself by saying, "That was a dad joke!"
I am wondering, what do you like best out of the list??

I like the dark, caustic, dry, obscene, obscure, parodic, satire, self-irony in comics and movies. In myself I seem to most often use the self-irony, self-ridicule, witty, surreal, some obscene, and more than likely the un-PC - just a throw-back to the generation I was raised in (ie: Richard Prior calling white people "honkies", the "Pollack joke") I realize the hurt they cause in our Easily Offended nation, so now mainly find myself relating with self-deprecating humor

I like all of 'em, but if I had to choose one, I'd pick dark humor. Examples of dark comedies off the top of my head would include such films as "War of the Roses," "After Hours" (Scorcese's first comedy) & one of my all-time favorites, "Harold & Maude."
