This wasn't a guessing game, but I'd give you a score of 100% just because you tried.
I'm an easy laugher. I seldom go to funerals anymore.

Wasn't guessing. I just can't make any sense or non-sense of #1. Is it punny, sarcastic, or just way beyond my comprehension?

I thought it was funny because it was all bagpipes, and a mix tape would be full of the same sound, regardless of the songs being played. Yes, I know the pipes can play different tunes, but banjos, accordions, and bagpipes are often the targets of critical humor.

Now that is funny.
Regarding the last one, I read that william Tell and his family were very avid bowlers and very competitive. Unfortunately, all records of their bowling prowess were lost in a great fire. Now it is impossible to know: for whom the Tells Bowled.

I probably missed on the first because until I looked it up I had no idea what a "mix tape" was. Now that I know, I still don't see anything funny about it. But I suspect it's just me. I have never found anything funny about people like Lucille Ball, Jacky Gleason, Sienfeld (if that's the way it's spelled), the 3 Stoges, -- you get the idea. And I can't blame it on genes, because close members of my family watch such "stuff." A sister even watches "Survivor," although that's not supposed to be funny, while "reality" it most definitely isn't. It may in fact be funny, but I'll never know. The point is, I've never been able to equate the pathetic, the ridiculous, or the trite to funny. I'm not sure that I can even explain what I find funny. I can be reading a book and come onto a sentence which actually arouses laughter. When I (rarely) show the passage to others they quite often don't get it. So once again, I am proven to be really strange. Thank some deity somewhere. Don't let this detract from your (generic usage) own enjoyment. Cheers.

Thanks for the concern (if that's what it is), but I enjoy my life. And as I said, I find humor. I simply have a different idea of what is humorous.

Pretty witty on short notice. "Witty" not to be equated to "funny." Nice shot, however.

Do you know what you have when you pitch your banjo into the dumpster and it lands on some bagpipes?

Perfect pitch.

So...serious wit?
Wit is both clever and funny...just an FYI...they go together.
Your term...not mine.
