schadenfreude is the lowest form of humor.
Humor to me is subtle and smart. Sarcasm, wit ,satire and irony.

I think it is our personal belief systems. Would we accept this IN REAL LIFE? Do we like rauncy British humor? slap-stick?
Shows like Bernie Mac and Scrubs ,Jon Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres are incredibly funny to me. I liked the movie superbad and knocked up but slap stick and schadenfreude eludes me. I don't put
people down in the attempt to make others laugh. It's just not my style.
