Some of my highest-voted comments have been pure humor. A few examples, with parent comments included for context:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8690893 (86 points, and 24 for the followup comment)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6447007 (43 points)
Even this silly one-liner got 23 points:
