.... responding to the lex on FT, who sez ALL comedy songs make him scowl (a not-unusual response to enforced jollity)

(and i guess i'm talking "laugh-with" funny rather than "laugh-at" funny)

very loose fallible breakdown

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

rap inc.grime: has a lot of skit comedy, stuff done with "voice", cartoony characters, also use of speed of gag (pleasure in shared swiftness) (also true of some punk, except for the skits)
singer-songwriter (inc.some indie): can have witty lines or narratives
bosh and metal (and mariah): have this omg awesome exuberance don't-care-if-you-think-it's-silly thing goin
country, some indie: has a wry, self-mocking thing

can be found anywhere: just an observation you never saw elsewhere which makes you LOL

Yes, but skits are NEVER FUNNY.

i was bein a bit handwavey there -- i actually mean more the structure of rap songs with several voices as a conversation between sensibilities, which is often used to funny effect, than the in-between skits

Ah right, like sketch comedy, or "Don't You Want Me" (er this last may involve my definition of things that reflect someone's sense of humour IE basically everything).
