I laugh in many different ways. I have at least three laughter responses to humour... and they're generally honest enough.
I have a completely non-convincing sarcastic laugh for situations that demand such. I have several forms of "evyl gloating" ... which are honestly intended but almost always exaggerated deliberately (I'm like a well-practiced 80s cartoon villain). I sometimes display the anime response of a rather weak (and clearly unconvincing) laugh in awkward situations (and if I could generate a sweat-drop, I would).... subconsciously faked.
I can't really think of any other good examples right now, but I know I have more. I have a laugh for just about every situation (which is just as well, since I don't tend to show other emotional responses too often).

Yes, if someone says something that's not funny but they obviously think it is, I just feel sorry for them so I laugh! But you can tell a fake laugh because it doesn't reach a person's eyes - if they laugh for real their eyes crinkle up at the corners and twinkle!

Yes, when a friend cracks a joke and you know it's not really that funny but you pretend to laugh anyway just so your friend doesn't feel dumb!

Maybe not a laugh, bt definately a smile. It would be in uncomfortable situations where there is nothing you can do bt smile.

Yeah, when someone tells a bad joke but you dont want to hurt their feelings or when my boss tells one. I think everyone knows why for that.
