What does Vegeta find funny?

Does the guy even have a sense of humor? If anything he just seems to cringe at everything funny.

Considering that Vegeta was a stone cold exterminator for half of his life, humor was a bit hard to come by in his life. Now that he is surrounded by a gang of zany misfits, Vegeta probably can't make heads or tails of what emotion he is supposed to be feeling thus, Vegeta just goes with what he knows and remains a sourpuss.

I remember two memorable moments of Vegeta having a sense of humor.

The first one is the filler episode after Buu saga where Goku searches for eggs and ChiChi wants to trade Goku for Vegeta, although that's a dub line and i don't remember what was said in original version:

The other is Vegeta challenging Goku after Baby saga and laughing when Goku says he can't fight because he is hungry:

I remember he made a joke in ep. 63 of Super, where he said something like "oh I was going to bring a casket for you guys but I couldn't find one small enough", and then smirked right after (he was talking to Black and Zamasu). I guess that's what Vegeta finds funny, so yikes.
At his core Zamasu is good like Shin, though I guess you could say he was so fastidious that it backfired. But you know, for this "Future Trunks Arc" you had to depict Zamasu and Trunks' inner conflict, right? If this was back when I was drawing the manga myself then I doubt if I could have done it. I mean, I'm not very good at depicting the characters' psychology on the page. So this all came together because now I only have to think up the story. [...] On my own, I doubt I would have been able to express Zamasu's fall to the dark side.

I remember in the Buu Saga, Goku ate a big meal just before the tournament. Goku says, "Man, I'm stuffed! Whoever I'm fighting, please don't punch me in the gut."

Then Vegeta replies, "Okay. If I fight Kakarot in the first round, first thing I'm going to do is punch him in the gut."

It was probably a dubism, but oh well.

Sounds like something he would actually do though.

But didn't he laugh a few times early on when people were dying? Like against the Earthlings and that Namekian village he destroyed? Oh and against Cell after the final flash.

So I would say his sense of humor is dark, very very dark.

Vegeta finds ruling the universe and blasting Cell hilarious.

He did find Tien losing his arm amusing , Vegeta always had dark and sadistic humor , he made fun of his victims before killing them like Guldo and Zarbon .
