I prefer conservative style of humor

[Joseph Maynor]

Humor is tricky because unless you're a professional comedian, it can be turned against you.  If you use darker humor, it opens you up to other people turning that against you and try to make you seem to be an awful person.  Humor is tricky for this reason unless you are entirely anonymous.

 Unless North Americans move to France or make French friends they won't understand exactly what you mean.  French people are exactly the way you describe and I think it's great you are contributing this prospective to the chat. 

What are some more things you find funny?

It depends on context, but I like making witty arguments that sit on the border between aesthetic insult and historical and scientific reasoning.
The goal is to be impactful and theatrical.

In the end, it’s all aesthetic.

We don’t get angry at a heated argument. Even if we do become angry, it usually ends with respect for the other person for having battled.

I’m talking more about IRL discourse.

So much wrong here my brain just short-circuited reading it.

Only comedians need to be really creative because people will compare.

In private, its fine to steal a joke or two if its funny in the context. The fact that its funny is the goal, not the art.

I would write something funny here but then Amy Schumer would steal it.

Amy Schumer herself was the joke so she will never notice.
