In response to Our bread and butter! - ESL discussion (Yingwen Laoshi)

I am having just a little trouble understanding what exactly is humor/humorous to chinese people.

Is it just that you laugh - they laugh?
Or does the joke have to be carfully sensored and tailored so it would not normally be funny to the average western ear?

Just what do you do to make em laugh without being Mr bean!??
Any examples hints and tips would be of welcome interest.

I usually resort to "taking the piss" but sometimes i feel i am running out of funny students
