Are you guys nuts? This ain't a complaint about a movie, it's about you. I personally felt movie being dramatic and touching, that's the reason why I liked this movie.. but saying it's one of the funniest is kind of stupid, because it's not. It's mostly emotional and I loved it because it was like that.
shareMany great films are able to cover multiple bases and this is one of them. Up has drama, it has adventure, and yes, it even has comedy. Humor of course is very subjective, but I find myself getting more laughs out of this than some of those supposed animated comedies.

What's stupid is thinking a movie can't be both hilarious and touching. Such narrow minded thinking leads to closed minds.
Can't stop the signal.
Your post seems to intend on insulting the sense of humor of others, but to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you're actually wondering what IS funny, I think I can answer that.
The dogs in the film were absolutely hilarious. Dug is wonderful. He vocalizes what you think your dog would say if he could, and it's essentially funny because it seems true. But, you may have to really know and live with dogs to appreciate that humor.
Kevin was also very funny, and there were many other laughs with the interaction between Carl and Russell as well.
Obviously you saw the same content and didn't find it funny. To tell the truth, I resented the filmmakers for making the beginning so sad. It seemed to be unnecessary flogging of the audience, and it affects the ability for some users to re-watch it. For me, it affected my perception of the quality of the drama, which I feel could have been done more artfully and less painfully.
Do I feel that people who adore the movie for the drama are 'nuts'? Absolutely not. Simply different people with different tastes.
It's not considered one of the funniest necessarily, it's just considered one of the best, because it is. It does have some good laughs, but it's main strength is not the comedy, but how real, mature and human it is, while still remaining a children's film at its core. Not just one of the best animated films, but one of the best films en bloc.
