This is a normal post I just don't think it's very funny
that's my main objection.

Edit, also it's about context and audience. My ex is one of the most PC people on earth and it became a running joke between us to think up the most offensive jokes we could, because we knew neither one believed any of it. It's using language to wind people up, but it only works if it's "captive." If you release it out into the wild it's different.

If you put something out on a Netflix then you lose the ability to control the context. In a venue you can build up to an offensive joke, lay careful groundwork, subvert it and turn back on the audience. Once you put something in a download it can be taken out of context. Carr knows better.
