I believe it depends on your own personal sense of humour. The orcs humour, as you just demonstrated, would be crude, evil, and vile. The hobbits, more down to earth. The elves and higher races of men had a more refined sense of humour, but I'll bet they had a sense of humour all the same. Although I've not read the Lord of the Rings for over a year, I seem to remember Legolas making a joke to Gandalf while on Caradras. Don't have the time to look it up, but you look for yourself in the Ring Goes South.
