Missing Humour Module

I've finally given in and accepted that I am missing some type of humour module. Many people have it - I don't. My brother has it - I don't.

My brother said I *had* to see the second episode of Glee. I went to Hulu  and watched it. I laughed once. It was painful to sit through the whole show - even with 'limited commercial interruptions'.

My brother and I agree on some shows - 30 Rock, Big Bang Theory - we both think they are hilarious. Big Bang Theory makes me laugh so hard I almost cry. Glee left me bored and bothered that I wasted my time.
The type of humour was the same as the Coen brother's work, the TV show Better Off Ted, and likely Napoleon Dynamite. I don't know it's classification, but I don't get it. I don't find it funny.
I want to find out what type of humour those movies/shows are considered -is it too dry for me? too esoteric? too... what? Why does that style leave me flat?
