It's a psychological thing apparently,
according to a British psychology professor at LaughLab
(http://www.nydailynews.com/front/breaking_news/story/23945p-22688c.html),
in a study of what people from different nations found funny "The British,
Irish, Australians and New Zealanders favored jokes involving wordplay,
while continental Europeans liked jokes with a surreal bent. Americans and
Canadians preferred jokes invoking a strong sense of superiority - either
because a character looks stupid or is made to look stupid by someone else."
