I like dark jokes that make me a little uncomfortable. Staying away from boundaries makes life boring and it's always interesting to see people make up different reasons as to why types of comedy is bad. It's never the same reason and it's never more convincing than the last.
Dark jokes are great. Just don't be sadistic towards other people and try to claim humor as your defense, that's when it gets dishonest.
Not every desire is healthy or moral to pursue. May you live in interesting times :D
And not everything you find distasteful or upsetting is immortal or unhealthy.
Dark jokes can be made without punching down. This is satire on the whole idea of certain well-known comedians punching down by making very bigoted jokes about marginalized groups and not getting the consequences they should for it.
Michael Richards would be given a Fox comedy special after his outburst these days.
