Comedy & Wit — Sharp tongues, absurd situations, and the risk of laughing out loud on public transport. Comic writing at its lightest and cleverest — farce, repartee, and fools with excellent tailoring.
Satire — A joke with a target. Comedy aimed at institutions and pieties — funny because it is accurate, and uncomfortable for the same reason.
Dark Comedy — Funny, and not entirely a relief.

A joke, usually with a target.
