There actually is no Egyptian deity called "Kek". It was just people usurping the name "Kuk" (the actual egyptian god name) and misspelling it or abbreviating "Keku", the "personification of darkness" (I suppose you could make the case for it, but honestly, I truly think it was just people conveniently shoving the label into a conveniently and similarly spelled word -- classic cultural absorption).
The actual origin of "Kek" in the meme sense and its corresponding relationship to humor is that it was simply the Korean approximation in English of laughter when typed on a Korean keyboard during starcraft matches ("kekekekekekeke" = "hehehehehe"). Later on, Blizzard (who made starcraft) apparently paid homage to this particular quirk of syntax in their massively popular "World of Warcraft" mmorpg by designing it so that when an Horde member (the negative faction) typed "lol" into their keyboard, the Alliance (the positive faction) would see "kek" spelled out on the chat bubble (since the words one typed would be scrambled to communicate the idea that the two factions spoke different languages).
Top kek indeed.
