Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Since it's a silent movie, they would be sight gags, where the humor of a situation/moment is found without words!.

Rowan Atkinson has a nice description of how an object or person can be funny:

* By being in an unusual place
* By behaving in an unusual way
* By being the wrong size
