*Laughter Spoiler Alert* If you are concerned, that knowing what causes laughter will ruin it for you, then DON'T READ THIS!
The core reason any thought, perception, sight, whatever it is, is funny is due to two key components.
A firm belief in what is perceived to be normal, correct, or appropriate for a situation, and a supposition that contradicts what is perceived as normal, correct, or appropriate for that situation.
The feeling/experience of laughter is when something is perceived to contradict what the brain knows, so profoundly, that the body causes a chemical reactions to occur in order to tell us that what we just perceived is completely untrue.
So, the cow jumping over the moon is "utterly" false.
