What is funny?

I think that there are two types of comedy that i find particularily funny. The first being satire. I find satiristic comedy funny because it sometimes mocks quite serious situations and turns them into a quite enjoyable form. The next form of disputable comedy that i find particulary hilarious is watching people in unfortunate circumstances. I.e. Jackass and other videos on the internet.
