Analyzing humor to its raw elements, I still think we find that it's all some form of "wrongness" being portrayed as something other than wrong, and that humor is inherently a coping mechanism.
This is what I was alluding to with the 'Pink Panther' reference - some of the dry humor that others either don't prefer, or don't quite get. Here's a clip from a film that I enjoy (Dr. Strangelove) where the President is trying the explain to a drunk Russian President that the USSR (old, I know) is about to have the hydrogen bomb dropped. Serious as you-know-what, but I love how it unfolds. The whole scenario just falls apart.
