I do.
I have a very dark sense of humor, so I mostly laugh at things that people find repulsive or evil.
I do as well.....Which would probably surprise a lot of people that know me, as I am a really quiet, passive, gentle person.....But I find humor in a lot of things that would be considered morbid. I
try to keep the laughs on the inside when I think it might be inappropriate for the setting, key word there is TRY...and that's if I realize and filter before the laughter flies out.
There has been many times that I've caught my self laughing, sometimes hysterically, in situations where no one else was. Sometimes because I guess it was inappropriate to, or no one else could even begin to see the humor in what I was laughing at....and I couldn't even begin to explain to them how/why I found it humorous.

Yes, absolutely. I find bad puns, strange coincidences, and general absurdities hilarious. On the other hand, I cannot see the humor in a lot of things that is seems pretty much everyone else on the planet finds hilarious (Will Ferrell movies, for example.)
Yup....I can relate to this. I can't really give an example, but absurdities will get to me. Coincidences for surely, and synchronicities. Most of the comedy seen in mainstream film these days just annoys me, rather than making me laugh.

......We were at a convenience store and someone got shot in the head right across the street. The person was a local and was quite dead. The other locals came out and were obviously upset about the murder. So WTF does my dad do? He takes a paper bag, blows it up with air, and pops it right behind the crowd with his other hand to simulate the sound of a gunshot (think popping balloon noise but louder). needless to say the crowd that was gathered around the murder victim did not find it funny but my dad thought it was hilarious. I got him out of there before he got shot.
See....This made me laugh. Not something I would do, and I can see how it's inappropriate because of what happened, but seeing this situation in my mind makes me giggle.
