Hmmm, out of the options, Slapstick seems to be my least favourite, followed by Situational, and I'm not really sure about Schadenfreude. Besides that, I really like them all. Although offensive is a bit hit and miss, but when it's funny, it's really funny. I usually feel guilty whilst laughing though.
I wouldn't even know how to define my sense of humour, I laugh at all sorts. I'm very fond of sarcasm, satire and irony though, being English and all.
From your list, punning wins, that pun cracked me up! I'm a sucker for a good pun!
I am actually really chuffed to open your eyes to Tim Vine. It's the kind of humour that is *right* up your street (and mine, as it happens). He's a comedian. You can probably catch his stuff on YouTube. It's all one-liners and puns. For instance...
My friend always wanted to be run over by a steam train. When it happened, he was chuffed to bits. :D
"But I'll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself."
"So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are."
Pahahaha, I think I'm in love! I think I might actually die of laughter. In fact he might just have a chance of replacing Sean Lock as my favourite comedian:O! Thank you very much, you've just made this banana very, very happy:D!
You are more than welcome. :D I've loved Tim Vine for years and whenever I see someone that I think will appreciate him, I'll always pass it on.
A couple of my favourites:
A friend dropped his scrabble set in the road. I said, "What's the word on the street?"
Crime in multi-storey car parks. That's wrong on so many levels.
I've seen him live. I was gasping for breath at one point because he delivers them so quickly. It's bang, bang, bang, and you never get to recover. Saw Sean Lock live too. He's a real favourite of mine. He just gets funnier and funnier year on year. I love Sean Lock. :D
P.S. Do you ever get that when you're half way through eating a horse and you think to yourself, 'I'm not as hungry as I thought I was'.
P.P.S. Milton Jones and Stewart Francis do a similar kind of comedy (both funny men and worth looking at) but Tim Vine is the absolute master of the pun.
Why type of humour amuses you most?

Oh.My.God. I've just googled some of his jokes:
"But I'll tell you what I love doing more than anything: trying to pack myself in a small suitcase. I can hardly contain myself."
"So I got home, and the phone was ringing. I picked it up, and said 'Who's speaking please?' And a voice said 'You are."
