Puns. I don't know if it's an INTP thing or not, but I love them. They're so 'punny.' Hahaha! That was bad.
Aside from all the stuff other people saying, I also delight in being surprised.
Predictable jokes bore me.
I enjoy having the "joke" be a twist I did not see coming.
I even laugh good-naturedly when people do or say things I wouldn't have predicted they'd do or say, especially in a given context. It just amuses and pleases me on a deep level.

I love this guy's youtube channel. Normally I don't revel in making fun of Christians, but the way this guy quotes the bible for his humor is just great.
Yeah, I like being surprised, too. Enthusiasm is fun to see in comedians as well. I get a kick out of Dane Cook for that reason.
Puns, especially bad ones.
Deadpan humor

“Did you shoot him?”

“How much do I owe you?” he says.
“For you,” says the bartender, “no charge.”

A guy is sitting at home when there’s a knock at the door.
He opens it and there’s a snail sitting on the doorstep.
He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can.
Three years later the guy is sitting at home and there’s a knock at the door.
He opens it and the same snail is sitting on the doorstep.
The snail says, “What the hell was that about?”
