I'm not sure why any sort of humor is considered "dumb," particularly humor like Dumb and Dumber or the Simpsons.
I find Tim Allen and Ray Romano as unfunny as hell, but I think that's because I like more sarcastic or edgy humor. The Simpsons has more obscure and funnier references than 30 hours of Dennis Miller. Dumb and Dumber is a perfect laugh out loud flick - its every bit as smart in construction as anything Woody Allen has ever made.
I guess my point is, calling humor "dumb" because you don't get it is a bit heavy handed. Its more appropriate to say, as TH did, that "you just don't get it."
S(there are of course exceptions - some movies are just unfunny, like, say... Van Wilder)D
