Well, TS said it: Humor is all about another's misfortune, and death is possibly the ultimate misfortune. So it would follow that it should be funny.

I laugh at animals a lot. To the point that my wife mocks me. When I look back at the biggest belly laughs I've had in my life, it's usually some dog or cat doing something funny. Something that's a misfortune for the dog or cat. So I guess I go to the other extreme. Non-humans having their dignity compromised. Apparently that's good humor for me.

Of course, if the pet owner was in the room, I would stifle the laugh.
