I don't think that necessarily follows. Some infinities are greater than others.
(Even though I happen to think anything could be funny with sufficient effort. Even tragedy)

Yes, for example, odd numbers are infinite, that doesn’t imply everything is odd.
Schadenfreude to the extent of humour. That is a difficulty isn't it, the audience can find whatever it wants funny if that's how it's wired. Perhaps you're right.
