Answer 1

From what I’ve learned being an internet person, humor is a very complex social and intellectual trait that few animals have evolved the capability for. Doesn’t answer your question but I’m just guessing it’s a byproduct of the ability to be empathetic and recognize social queues and is beneficial to the group as a whole. It might be a learned behavior to give feedback. You might make up a bad joke, but you always will tell it to that friend that laughs at everything.
