What makes you laugh, SE++?

You see, I have a terrible time watching most comedy movies. For a comedy movie to click on a "holy shit this is funny" level with me, it takes something witty and absurd, but without any embarrassment humor. I can't do embarrassment humor in any form.
Pretty much the perfect comedy film in my point of view is Clerks. Not saying it's the best or the funniest ever, but it's an example of a funny script that keeps me engaged.

As far as individual jokes go, it's all about delivery. And that can range wildly, but usually the most you'll ever hear me laughing is when the joke comes out of next to nowhere, but with a little bit of solid buildup to it. This is why a well written Family Guy episode is really damn funny. Too bad most Family Guy episodes aren't too well written.
Also, while straight up toilet humor is generally bad, raunchy jokes are by all means welcome.

Now for my favorite joke ever (read any speech in the most stereotypical respective accent possible):
An Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walk into a bar. They each sit down and order a pint of stout.
The Englishman gets his beer. There's a fly in it, but he pretends not to notice and keeps drinking until about a third is left. He then says to the bartender "There seems to be a fly in this drink; I'd like another" and gets a free drink for his trouble.
The Scotsman drinks quickly, and only barely notices the fly. When he does notice it, however, he says "ah, some meat to go with me ale" and keeps drinking.
Now, the Irishman drinks, and drinks well. When he gets to the last sip, he sees the fly. He pinches it, pulls it up, and looks the insect firmly in the eye, saying "spit it out, ya wee bastard!"

So what makes you laugh, SE++?
