insecure humor 

Humor lacking both sense and construction. Often used by people who feel too insecure to make regular, constructed jokes. This form of comedy is widely regarded as unfunny and merely a expression of the comedians own insecurities. Frequently referred to by proprietors and observers alike as "random" for lack of a more concrete or accurate description.
"MONKEY CHEESE NINJA SPORK PENGUIN OF DOOM LOLOLOLOL I'M SO RANDOM XD"

"You're really just exhibiting your failures as a human with this insecure humor, you know..."

Dark Humor 

Something british people claim they have as an excuse when they make fun of children dying. Then accuse people of being oversensitive to their joke even though they responded like a child to something miniscule.
American person: it's funny how british people call fries chips!
British person: Oh yeah? At least my kids arent going to die in a school shooting!

American person: Hey that's going far isn't it?
British person: pft look at this oversensitive American! Cant you see we just have dark humor. We're angry for you that's why I'm joking about the death of kids!
American person: all I said was Chip was a funny word for fries.

Pharisee Humor 

The type of a humor a Pharisee would have used in the New Testament. Not so much humor, as it is mockery.

Actually, it's a lot closer to being a douchebag.
Man: Oh man, I'm really feeling that workout.
Person implementing Pharisee Humor: Thou shalt not work on the sabbath.
Man: Dude, it's Saturday.
Pharisee: Do you dare speak blasphemy in the sight of the Lord?
Man: You're a douche.

borrowed humor 

When a person, or people, take a concept from a popular TV show - usually a catchphrase - and try and make it funny in every day life. Effectively borrowing the line to try and create humor.
Guy, who is not Dane Cook, walks into a party and yells "Wait a second?! Who shit on the coats!"

This is an example of borrowed humor. Expectations were not confounded, thence humor did not arise from it.

negative humor 

When Sarah makes a bad joke (i.e. every joke that comes out of her mouth) and everyone who was unfortunate enough to hear that joke is worse off as a result.
Sarah: you're not funny Jimmy hahahahhahaha

Jimmy: negative humor!

smarmbro humor 

Otherwise known as "smarmy bro humor." Humor based on the need to make others look stupid. Smarmbro humor usually manifests itself on the pranking side of YouTube, where idiotic teenage boys toe the line between pranking and breaking the law. Smarmbros love to showcase their enormously inflated egos as they scare random people shitless just for kicks.
The smarmbro's condescending attitude toward women should also be noted. Sexual harassment, to them, is just another funny game. Bikini-clad girls make for great playtoys and clickbait.

Smarmbro humor is satirized in the "I'm Ethan Bradbury" meme.
Smarmbro humor is just one side effect of smarmy teenage boys who think they're hot shit.
