It's been my observation over time. And it has to be a live setting...If somebody does or says anything really funny, somebody laughs a lot sooner than somebody or everybody else does. So, they "got" it quick, the thought processor for everybody works different.
A guy I worked with in South Carolina, he had an abstract sense of humor. He thought it was funny to tell an un-funny joke on somebody. At a social gathering, I do not at all endorse this...the victim went to the bathroom and the prankster described what was about to happen.....he would tell an un-funny joke and everybody into the prank would "fake" laughing hysterically .....it was cruel, and somebody (the victim) he wanted to play a joke on would be SO lost. And he queued us into what the un-funny punch line would be, and of course, we were all drinking and we agreed to play. When I say "this," everybody laugh.
Well, it worked. The victim came back into the scene and our guy (I hate I participated in this) started the joke. It was about folks going to a restaurant. It was too long of a joke. It went on and on, everybody ordered the roasted duck. And in the joke, the last person ordered roast beef. So the waiter asked, "Why don't you want the duck?" The secret punch line was, "Because I have a hole in my shoe."
So we all started laughing hysterically and we were soon laughing hysterically for sure at the victim who didn't understand the joke at all.
