3. The bag of dog food at the lab gets me the most. You don't even need to be in a Genocide to trigger this, which supports the fact that Chara has a murderous side. If you've killed all the dogs in Snowdin (and other monsters, I think), the text will say that "you remembered something funny." Chara finds the dogs' deaths funny, whether or not you're on a Genocide route.

4. The "laughed it off" thing may seem like the childish way to deal with something, yes, but what Flowey says at the end of this route tells me something else: that Chara often deals with worrisome things by laughing. You see how Flowey says that "it isn't funny", and that Chara has a "sick sense of humor" when he becomes aware of their intentions. That means they're laughing, or grinning widely. At what, you ask? Well, probably at everything you've one so far. Chara also laughs when they destroy the entire world, and at the end of a soulless Pacifist. They find despair, pain, and death funny. Well, humor often comes from despair. "Laughing things off", does't need to be childish at all. We can sometimes laugh at really messed up and hurtful things, not out of spite, but out of absurdity of them. Even people with good intentions when faced to injustice and put in helpless position can nothing but laugh at that thing.
