You beating up a bully as a kid put a smile to my face, not that violence is funny but that I think you did the right thing. Not to say that we should run around beating up bullies all day. I'm generally against violence.

But I prefer the kind of humor that is not Three Stooges in being just slap-stick where people get hurt and you laugh at them instead of with them. I prefer more nerd humor or geek humor, like sophisticated logic humor or silly crazy humor.
