Funny stupid scary stories often involve our own human weaknesses and quirks. Our tendency to be scared easily or jump to conclusions. When we hear about someone else's experience of being terrified by something as simple as a shadow that they later find out was their own coat, we can't help but laugh. It also makes us feel better about our own silly moments of fear. They are a unique blend of emotions that make them stand out and very interesting to hear.
The fact that they often reflect our subconscious in a really comical way. Maybe you're stressed at work and you dream that your boss has turned into a giant, talking tomato who is giving orders in a squeaky voice. It shows how our minds can twist and turn our daily experiences into something completely absurd and funny.
It's probably because it has unique and comical characters that make people laugh.
