For example:
Jup in Sco - black humour
Jup in Aries - direct, slapstick
Jup in Gem - the wit behind humour, satire
Jup in Aqu - finding oddities funny, maybe parodies

etc

Cancer - not sure, maybe humour that taps deep into emotions? Anyway, Jup is exalted in Cancer, so it should help in a persons sense of humour?

My sense of humour is very weird but adaptable. I know how to make anyone smile.

I don't find other people's jokes very funny so it makes me look serious and condescending when I don't laugh :P

A Planet like Jupiter makes me think of what the relationship is between that Planet and the Sign it's in FIRST. From that, I would think of humor. The reason I connect it like that is what little I know of humor, and psychology, and the brain.

I think it's a fantastic question.

On paper, the mini list (theories) make complete sense, but I'm not sure if I could sort of apply it. Jupiter in Scorpio = "black humour" - that makes sense to me, but then, I love that and my Jupiter is in Capricorn. I'm not arguing your point, just sort of laying out what I got.

Movies like Fargo, American Beauty, etc. I'm the only nut in the theater laughing sometimes, you know? But usually, everyone else is afraid to laugh. THAT I don't get, but anyways ... I don't need pre-game show.

Jupiter in Aries, you bring up slapstick, I think 3 Stooges, and I'm like the only chick I know. Everything you said makes sense, but I feel like it's all the above.

But maybe, take Sagitarrius (for Jupiter), put together with Scorpio. Lot's of satire, sarcasm, boisterous, etc.

Sagittarius (for Jupiter), put with Aries. Painting the town red, bringing down the house, shooting from the hip.

It's not more correct, just maybe provides a little bit more specificity. Example: Maybe Jupiter in Aries would not find a funny "delightful" romance as funny as Eddie Griffin's "Dysfunktional Family" Live on stage -- etc.

I guess I find it funny when people act pompous...(how about other leo jupiters?)

Well here's an example...

Yesterday (Sept 23rd) we celebrated my brother's birthday...so I thought it was funny I would belt out happy birthday off key AND also replace...

"Happy Birthday to YOU" with "Happy birthday to ME"

and...

"Happy Birthday dear BROTHER'S name" with "Happy birthday dear MY name"

Your Jupiter in Cancer? Anything in Cancer requires humor to survive. Like, when they say Cancers were coal mineworkers in a previous incarnation, might have stuggled with low energy or lung problems or pressure in the chest. Laughter is perfect for that.

What House is your Jupiter in Cancer in?

23 -

Also, take it a step further when considering the House it's in, right? How I would relate that to my Natal Jupiter in Capricorn in the 9th House, I enjoy humor where a lot of thought and seriousness was put into it. Not vulgarity for the sake of vulgarity. When the comedy is edited and re-edited, it comes out meaningful.

Now as far as humor in everyday life, not a movie I'm watching, it comes out about the same, except that the "thought & seriousness" quota is the sum of my life experiences up to that moment. Jupiter in Capricorn in the 9th questions why people do the things they do a lot, so when you take a very ethical approach to life and see irony all day long, it becomes a lot like a classical Monty Python Holy Grail kind of experience. The ridiculousness comes about because of the backdrop, or the premise. Hope that helped.

Jupiter in Capricorn in the 9th secretly likes to make people laugh, and will go about somewhat odd ways of doing it, because the humor ultimately desires to be useful.

I understand the Monty Python side as it involves them being serious and dour in their act but what they are doing is incredibly silly.

I have Jup conj Asc in Aries and in the 1st house. I believe that this enhances my sense of humour a lot (I tend laugh at things that others don't even laugh at). I have been told that I have excellent sense of humour (thankfully). I find all types of comedy funny. I think most of what I like though is a sharp wit (mostly to do with my heavily air chart) however, I believe that spontaneous humour is funnier than planned humour (like what you might like) because it involves speed and wit and it is quick and spontaneous, taking the situation and running with it - this is prob Aries. I do admit that I find things like Jackass incredibly funny though, someone falling over (and other accidents seen in Funniest Home Video shows) and foodfights - those probably are aries type humour - a bit of slapstick, a few projectiles and fast.

That makes me think of even MORE containment with all of that, and the Moon in Cancer is in the 12th House - lack of optimism sometimes? You go from being a total homebody, to then suddenly become very social, then back away again?

I don't know, it sounds claustrophibic to me, but maybe your personal experience is completely different.
