Humor that it's intentionally meant to shock is just horribly unfunny to me. Like dead baby jokes. I see them as being on par with lawyer jokes and knock knock jokes. Yeah, I get it, you're edgy. Now tell me an actually funny joke. There's no need or effort to it. Say something intentionally vulgar for shock value, and bam! You have joke LOL! If it's satirical or built into a larger, well made/structured joke, that's another matter. I was specifically talking about jokes where the humor is strictly derived from merely being "offensive".
