Oh, I think it's worth a LOT to be able to dispense the jokes. My brother is world-class, gasping-for-air, hold-your-sides, try-not-to-spit-your-drink-out, funny. Sadly, his humor does have a definite mean cast to it and his humor is virtually ALWAYS at someone's expense. I hate this part of it, but it sure doesn't seem to bother most women he encounters. He's not a bad looking guy, but he's not Brad Pitt either...and he dresses like he raided a junior high drama club costume closet. WOMEN THROW THEMSELVES AT HIM. Despite his meanness, his ridiculous hair and clothes, and the fact that he openly admits that he "doesn't believe in monogamy." Humor goes a LONG way.
There could be other factors than humor, there. I've met plenty of single guys who have a vicious sense of humor.

Maybe for some people. I don't care for joke crackers personally.
I think what people mean when they say they want someone with a sense of humour, they want someone who they're not going to be walking on eggshells with. And people without a sense of humour are the ones who get very easily rubbed up the wrong way and often for little or no reason.
That's pretty much what I'm saying.
