I think if people don't laugh at jokes, they're not "funny" and therefore don't qualify as "humor". The canned laughter tracks for sit-coms do not make the sit-coms "humorous". Only something that touches us and helps us is going to be true humor, I feel. Anything ugly is going to be harmful but that doesn't qualify in my book as humor.
