As for sense of humor, apparently all I need is 20 solid minutes of advertising directed by Jim Henson in the 60s. Holy hell, that stuff is amusing.
(Also 30 Rock. I often feel like Tina Fey has a video camera set up inside my head and is experimenting and recording exactly what I find funny, and then putting it in the show.)
Speaking of comedy, there was a brilliant 6-part series on PBS earlier this year (or late last year) that swept through the history of American comedy. If you can get hold of a copy, by all means watch it. It was a thing of beauty.
