Humor is a personal matter. In my youth I laughed uproariously (and still do in more subdued fashion) at the Three Stooges, Abbott & Costello, and Jerry Lewis. The more ridiculous and childish that it was, the more I liked it.
During an interview Liza Minelli said emphatically "Balls to you!." The first time I saw it, that somewhat mysterious utterance was more startling than funny. Those two seconds have gone viral, the snippet has been remixed and repeated, and "balls to you" is one of those jokes that gets funnier in the re-telling. Like I said, humor is a personal matter.
