usually where the cinema is located. determines the sense of humour and intelligence.

They have a sense of humour, just they react differently to most people when things tickle this sense of humour. In otherwords, they react like "that annoying guy in the cinema" who belly laughs at every tiny little joke/comedic reference.
Where as most people will laugh a little, smirk or smile at something avereagly funny.
I don't think you can have a "better" sense of humour as humour and what you find funny is subjective. I'd say you can have a broad/wide ranging sense of humour going from very dark sick twisted stuff to slapstick silly comedy, as two ends of the spectrum for example.

I often laugh at inappropriate moments.
I laughed out loud during The Blair Witch Project at what my girlfriend assured me was not a very funny moment. I laughed out loud when my mate tripped and headbutted his 6 year old niece (I couldn't stop laughing - the poor girl was traumatised). I also laugh out loud when I'm playing Left 4 Dead and the entire team, me included, is getting ripped to shreds. My friend likens it to berserker laughter on the battlefield
I can't help it!
It's just the way it is

Sorry I just had to laugh when I pictured the 6 year old being owned. I didnt expect you to say that when I started reading.
I'm very concious of laughing in public, for fear of being annoying. I once laughed int he cinema when no one else did and it was the most harrowingly embarrasing moment of my life
Schindler's List?
Reminds me of the comedian who said he and his girlfriend were depressed after watching it and she had asked him if there were any Outtakes.
It can work both ways though, we were at the cinema a few years back, I can't even remember what film it was but before it started they had one of those anti drink-driving adverts on, the one where the guy is walking home from work, shows him doing his daily stuff, he crosses a road and out of nowhere a car comes along and mows him down. Some woman in the audience burst out laughing as soon as it happened, real bellows of laughter in a silent cinema auditorium. She stopped eventually and said "sorry, that wasn't very nice was it," and the rest of the auditorium burst out laughing, us included.
First time I ever saw that film I was in Ireland and woke up half way through. My mate then proceeded to narrate the next few scenes, which I remember quite clearly:
"Haha, watch this, this is a great bit."
Cue the sadistic SS Officer sniping people in the courtyard.

hehe - I knew I wouldn't be the only one to find that funny
His sister never forgave me for laughing at her daughter, but it really was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.
My younger brother in law found the beach storming scene in Saving Private Ryan funny until the missus gave him a right good crack around the back of his head.
We went to watch 'In & Out' at the cinema and there was a reference to gonads, we laughed quite hard and everyone looked at us as though we were crazy, it wasn't until it was made it clear in the film that gonads = scrotum did everyone else join in.
I also took my two youngest brothers to see Shark Tale. The opening scene with the boy on the moon and the worm on the hook had my missus crying with laughter while me 2 young brothers looked at her like she was mad.
I am actually jealous of her and the way she can find something like Sid the Sloth out of ICE AGE trying to sleep and get comfortable on a rock so funny that she actually cries laughing and we can't carry on watching for 10 minutes. Very rare I really laugh at something
It's called a giggle loop:

I went to the cinema to see the exorcist when it was re-released about 10 years back with my housemates.
Me and a buddy were both laughing out loud (mainly at how silly the effects looked) and another friend sat between us was getting quite freaked out by both the film, and the fact that we were finding it funny.

Ohhh, I know all about the Giggle Loop - mine are more spontaneous - Giggle Loops need to build up...
L4D has been responsible for a lot of funny moments - I find it especially funny when Sharpy dies
I propose an OCUK cinema trip! Mostly as some of you guys seem great fun to go watch films with!
Reminds me of seeing Sweeny Todd in first year with most of my (then fairly new) friends... I thought it was awful untill you started to laugh at the violence, peaking at the bit where the woman who bakes the people pies gets thrown in the oven! Packed cinema, me at the front unable to stop laughing with half of belfast staring at me.....
