Why is drawing Amoonguses on the board funny to my friend but not my other friend?

very interesting question. i think a joke or a drawing recalls association in a brain.
if it's associated with a positive experience or it's an exaggerated truth = funny;
if it's associated with a negative experience or against person's morals = offensive;
if there's no association = not getting a joke, neutral.

Your other friend is missing the context behind the joke.

I don't know. Even I'm weird. I start laughing with presence of my friends. They are also weird. They also laugh in my presence. Different people different opinions.

  So a guy and his dad were texting. The dad made a “that’s what she said” joke and the guy said, “dad stop, I’m only 14”. His older brother joins the conversation and says “that’s what she said”

  How does your brain determine if something is “funny”?

  Probably how you grew up and what you are exposed to that makes you see things in a different way that makes us see things in a funny way more than others
