Both. But you need a sophisticated audience to appreciate sophisticated humor, and both sophisticated and base audiences find humor in seeing a man get whacked in the crotch by something. (lol)
No way to answer the question, because comedy is not absolute. Sophisticated, unsophisticated, highbrow, lowbrow, elegant wit, bathroom humor, slapstick, whatever - it doesn't matter. Any joke may or may not be funnier to a given person than another joke, regardless of what type of humor each joke is. It depends on all kinds of different things - how the joke is constructed, how well it is performed and by whom, timing, etc, etc.

I grew up with so called dry humor and so I am able to understand it for what it is. Some are not able to laugh at it because it goes over their head.

The PC answer to this is sophisticated humor...but I suspect that our hind brains truly love the other best...;-)
I only laugh at Sophisticated humour, but that said, I had to look at the answer to spell "Sophisticated".
