Satire is humorous in mind.

Edit: Maybe It is funny if you get the message and I just don't get the kind of dark humor, though.

Satire and humor are independent of each other.

You may want to check out the TV adaptation with Keir Dullea, which was quite funny. It showed me the humour that was running under the surface of the novel.
