Many writers have a weakness for wordplay and puns, which are typically inoffensive (although they don't have to be). Whether or not these are tiring is very individual to the reader.

A higher caliber of humor is based on your characters. A character who is insecure, or uptight, or awkward, or overconfident, or pretentious, or just plain dumb can be an endless source of humor, in the right situations.

It's worth noting, however, that even the seemingly soft-and-fuzzy humor of (for instance) Peanuts often has a dark undercurrent, or hidden edge.
