There are several sorts of comedy:
Theres slapstick-which is funny now and again-I mean the three stoges, I chuckle sometimes in their antics. But its the most immature style of comedy.

Theres satire-which is my favorite style of comedy. Just depends on what topic that it is making fun of. It can be both witty and immture.

Theres crude humor-Like The Z said, the rude sexual comments and jokes. The most desperate and lowly sort of comedy. This is the stage that comedy is big in right now, which might indicate the depreciation of society and what the masses consider humerous.

Im sure there are more forms that Ive forgotten, but thats what I remember for now.
