You're overthinking it. Subverting basic propriety is generally funny to some degree (which is why adults burping and farting is generally funnier than kids doing it unless of course the child's parents are present to be embarrassed). You don't have to reinvent the wheel just to get laughs in the same way you don't have to discard centuries old folk songs just cause you didn't write them.

But you need that propriety in the first place and that's so boomer.

I don't disagree but it's not as widespread. You gotta have that context. Though the context of people acting nonchalant in response can have its own brand of humour I guess.

Slowly and methodically combing your facial hair with a knife is a relaxing way to feel like a psychopathic murderer.
