No satisfactory theory of laughter that explains why humans laugh has yet gained wide acceptance.
Some of the prominent explanations (that is a humor appreciation model) comes from part of the ideas contained in the psychology essay Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, by Sigmund Freud (1905).
According to Freud's operational description, we laugh when the unconscious energy emerges to reach the conscious mind; and it reaches it unexpectedly thanks to the techniques used by the comedian. This exceeding energy is rapidly discharged in the form of laughter.
Freud distinguishes three fields: the comic, the wit, and the humor.

Because they are funny and the mean funny jokes makes us think of the horrible bad things (but funny things) happening to the ones we hate which make us laugh! Like in the cartoons.

Because the laugh receptors in our brain transmit the information and create waves that are transplanted to our mouth via nerve connectors. The result is laughter.

It's your brain reacting to the unexpected, usually harmless and pleasant, like when you hit the lotto!
