"...a little funny to a lot of people." I believe that's the criteria for success in the western world. Mediocrity. Even avant garde is not so "avant" - or maybe I mean "gard" -these days, it seems.

Another angle: There is probably no way to determine the "funniest" joke objectively. What would make me pee my pants would not necessarily be funny to, say, my daughter. Wait, bad example. My daughter has EXACTLY the same sense of humor as I do. She is a very savvy thirteen year old. Or, I am a very childish middle-aged woman.
