okay: this is something i've been thinking about for a long time.

it is easy to make a gross and offensive mean joke.

it is hard to make a nice and kind, yet still legit funny joke.



It's largely because a large chunk of human humor is based on either embarrassment, danger or failure so trying to balance morality is always going to be a tightrope and that's before you consider the merits of absurdity, shock value and taboo subjects. On one side your jokes are incredably bland and preachy on other you've just got mean spirited high school tier humilation which may do some actual damage.
