I think it's same as creativity/originality in anything, whether that be art, design, music composition, etc. It's all just about having a wide background knowledge which you can dissect and connect. Knowledge of the the people you're with, comedies you've watched, stand ups you've seen or books you've read. All that, combined with the right judgement of the moment just allows humour to naturally flow.

And practice! I think a lot of getting better with humor involves attempting to be funny a lot. You can have all the knowledge but if you don't apply it you won't get any better!
