I'm trying to determine out what makes things funny. Is it witty lines, timing, random stuff, or something else? I'll be looking forward for your answers.
Thank you

Depends on the type of humour. Much humour is funny because either it's true, or has truth in it.
Sometimes humour is funny because of how it's done, or when it's done. Other times, because it's obsurd, or just really, really stupid. (*remembers at fanime's showing of ReDeath...* "PENIS!!!" everybody laughs... now THAT was stupid, but apparently a lot of people thought it was funny. The funny part was when someone retorted "VAGINA!!!" Which was stupid... but witty!)
*ahem* OK, anyway. As above, it often is a witty response.
Then there are the types of humour - dry, slapstick, sadistic and dark, et cetera. Each of the rely on different things.
And the physically based humour types - facial expressions, people getting hurt (which can be slapstick, noises, and other things.
