The current issue (November 5 - 11) of TV Guide has an excellent
article by Sid Cesar on the fundamental nature of humor as
emitted by comedians both on and off the air.  A lot of what he
says can be extrapolated to net.jokes.

For those of you who are younger than I (nearly everyone), 
Sid Cesar was one of the more successful comedians in the
early days of television.  He has recently returned from an extended 
chemical trip and has shown himself to be a caring, articulate
person who can still get laughs.
