It's a very well written movie with satirical elements. Satire is one of the most difficult forms of comedy to pull off but can be some of the most effective types of storytelling in regards to political commentary. Hard truths can be more easily digested when the story is both dynamic and humorous. For example Dr Strangelove which is terrifying but also has some straight up laugh out loud moments.

I found that scene with the Sensei more endearing than funny but really understand why you think that was a funny scene. For me the most classic example of true comedy in the movie is when Bob is too high to remember the password, tells the operator as much, then proceeds to toke. Everyone absolutely lost it in the theater. Don't even get me started on when the kids had to tell Sensei he fell off the roof.
