There is no 100% answer everything is just guesswork. Some are better than others but mainly take what you think is appropriate.
My thoughts are laughter is caused when your mind is locked up because it encounters something unexpected in such a way that it needs a kick from itself to get going again, the brain does this by releasing a good dose of happy juice that makes you laugh, or fight juice in which case you can get angry or aggressive.
Think of a joke, first you have to understand it then you have certain expectations on where the joke is going to go, when the punchline comes around and its out of your expectations your mind locks up for a second I am sure everyone reading this has encountered this feeling. In order to unlock your mind your brain releases happy juice that is what makes you laugh.
