To wish my partner was funnier?

I have the most amazing partner, we have been together 2 years and honestly, he has treated me so well. He's emotionally intelligent, mature, kind, great with my kids, thoughtful, great in the bedroom, consistent. We also do have a bit of a laugh together and tease each other but he's not naturally funny.
I work with a guy who just has this unbelievable sense of humor, he doesn't even try to be funny, he just is, lots of one liners and just dry, silly humour. Im constantly laughing.
I'm not physically attracted to him but I just keep thinking how fun it would be to actually be with someone who was like that and sometimes feel a bit sad that I'm not going to have that. AIBU?

I would tell my ex all the time that he should've been a standup comedian. He was constantly making jokes/being funny. However, he never laughed at my jokes, but always laughed at me and made jokes about me. He had more of a slapstick type of humor when I prefer more witty/sarcastic type of humor. He had to be the "class clown" which gets old after a while. He was also missing a sympathy/empathy chip and could be very mean and cruel.

I realized that my best relationship was with someone who had a similar sense of humor as myself, where we laughed but it didn't have to be constantly bantering and laughing all the time. Now I stay away from any man that is too funny, always cutting up, it's just too much for me.

You would soon get bored at the constant jokey banter. Not to mention how many times you had to listen to the same jokes in front of different friends.
