I think one's native culture's humor is usually the closest and so, most effective. Needless to say, Russian humor will get that from me.
That said, I need to give a tip of hat to French comedies. There are very few English films that make me laugh hard (although there are some!), but many French films I've seen were absolutely laugh-out-loud hilarious. None of the other ones listed come close to what I've seen from the French, IMHO. I love the British and their sense of humor, but their comedies as such have always been too dry for me. I'll take the British sense of humor on a day-to-day level, but it usually doesn't go over well with me in film. Usually. I'm a HUGE appreciator of Mr. Bean, though.
