One characteristic is the contrast. Bad times are usually not associated with fun, but in these stories, there's a sudden shift. For instance, getting a flat tire on a long road trip could be a nightmare. But if along the way, you meet some really friendly locals who help you in the funniest ways possible, like using a strange contraption to fix the tire. Also, these stories usually have a relatable aspect. We've all had bad days and when we hear about others finding humor in theirs, it makes us feel better.
They often involve unexpected events. For example, like when you plan a perfect picnic and then it starts to rain heavily but you end up having a great time huddled under a tiny umbrella, sharing stories and laughing. Another characteristic is the element of self - deprecation. When you can laugh at your own misfortunes, like tripping in public but seeing the humor in it.
