Let's see. Toilet humor seems to be the preference. When Elijah confronted the prophets of Ba'al, he macked their vain supplications by asking, "Where is your God? Maybe he's sitting on the pot?" Jesus made fun of Pharisitic tradition by explaining, "It isn't what goes into your mouth that defiles you, it's what comes out of your butt" (I'm paraphrasing). Paul made fun of religious zealots who raised a ruckus over circumcision by arguing, "If its that important, why don't you just cut the whole thing off?"

If you were able to read the scriptures in the original languages, you would see that God often used Puns in scripture. I think through His foreknowledge He even help develop the English language to include some spiritual puns. We see this when the word Sun is often replaced with Son. Such as SonShine. Look through the scripture for various instances of this type of humor. You will see a lot of it.
I think God the Father also laughs when evil devices are thwarted and he blesses us in spite of someone's greed. He also laughs in joy when he surprises us with a special blessing and we are grateful.
I think God the Father and Jesus both would laugh at children playing or animals frolicking. I have been to Christian celebrations where people were dancing and laughing in joy and I truly believe God Himself would have been there laughing and clapping his hands to the music.

Wow. That's a good question. I guess nothing racial, mean to someone else, fat jokes, skinny jokes, old people babies, bombs, people getting hurt and especially mentally challenged. It narrows it down to almost just a few knock-knock jokes. Or does god want laughter?!?

Python and Pratchett.
Life of Brian is his favorite movie.
Although he did like Dogma a lot until Comedy Central put it on heavy rotation.

The Force is not a conscious being, but I presume it likes Jedi jokes.
