I suspect all humor is gallows humor and draws the contingency of being into its texture; and there is pure comedy that still requires context, but also ingroup comedy, which externalizes that contingency as aggression, and is a lesser comedy.

(I don't buy the humor as aggression theory. I think pure humor is pre-aggressive, in the sense that it is more pure and more primitive. Insult humor is a poor simulacrum of the real thing, for example.)
