nah, it's not that. I don't think those examples you chose were
necessarily meant to generate belly laughs from readers. I think they
were examples of how the male character interacted with the female
character (in both cases). It was something that would be funny **to
her**. Not necessarily to anyone else.
Notice in both cases a woman is telling another woman about how a
man--and a very important one-- made her laugh...
