It's inate behavior. Little babies no more than 3 or 4 months old know how to smile in reponse to pleasing stimuli. Sometimes people smile and laugh to keep up appearances or to keep from crying or to try to make themselves happy, but genuine laughter is a response to, like I said, pleasing stimuli. It's a part of us that we don't need to learn.

Yeah I laught at many things too, sometimes inapproriately.
I mean, I can find disaster humors at times.
Sometimes I get a big hoot here. Someone just askes one of those questions and the answers just fly and everyone take a turn at a quip and they just get better and better and better.
That last thing I found funny was some of the Borat stuff. I mean the cow in the front room. That was funny. The car being pulled by a horse, that was funny. The expressions on the people he's interviewing, that's funny. His appearance on Conan, was hillarious. "You have big head. Did you live inside nuclear reactor?"
The Roast of Bush was totally hillarious. What's his face, the guy on cable.
Penn and Tellers This is BS is hillarious. I saw their entire PETA take down and fell on the floor laughing.
60 Mintues sometimes has me rolling on the floor. The things some people will say with a straight face and MEAN it!
Some of the stuff on STudio 90 On The Sunset STrip gives me a hoot, as does some of DAvid KElleys stuff on Boston Legal, Ally McBeal and Pickett Fences.
David Kelley's one liner in LA Law still sticks in my mind, when the Moyel (spelling, the guy vat klips da skin off da baby boy) who botched a job and was getting sued was asked by one of the LA LAw lawyers if he said anything and his reply was
Maybe I said, ooops.

Laughter, for some odd reason, is restricted to dogs and humans lol. Well, okay, I seriously thought my cat was laughing at me once, but he maintained a straight face lol

I just laughed a second ago, reading a joke in someone's question.
We laugh when something unexpected happens or something like that.
Laughter is good for making life happier.

I laugh at how dumb I am sometimes. My head is in the clouds...I can do the silliest things. I also love physical comedy. Have you ever seen the movie "Singin' in the Rain"? Donald O'Connor does this funny number called "Make 'em Laugh", he's running around, getting hit by ladders, falling off a couch, it's just hysterical.

Jim, your questions have taken on a lighter tone tonight!
I laugh at slapstick comedy more than anything else. Also, I laugh at many of the witty comments in the R & S section of Yahoo! Answers.
