The OP pretty much covered it. Speech impediment jokes, fake foreign accents, and get-back-to-the-kitchen-woman jokes never made me laugh. I don’t find them particularly tasteless or crude; I just don’t find them funny.
On the other hand, this (SFW) gets me in stitches every time I see it. I have no idea why.
Humor is inexplicable.
See, now, to me this isn’t funny in the slightest. I don’t mind jokes at feminists’ expense if they’re funny (I kinda liked the one about secretly wishing she was the socket) but any of the child-man, ‘hurr durr durr, I get to treat women like crap because I have a penis’ type jokes (I used “make me a sammich” as my shorthand for it) just fall completely flat with me. This kind of ‘humor’ is rampant on Fark, and sometimes I can’t read thread comments because of it.
I can’t find the quote but I’m sure I once heard Eddie Haskell say, “nothing’s mean if it’s funny enough.” Something like that.
That said, I’ve never liked practical jokes. Don’t get why it’s funny that you made someone wet or bleeding in an unsual way that they didn’t see coming.
Sorry. 
(Not really.)
(Is that mean?)
I am sort of the opposite of some - six months from now, I won’t find Japanese earthquake jokes funny, because they aren’t topical.
I remember the 9/11 joke thread. I found it almost unbearably funny, and not even in a cathartic way - it was just funny.
Cringe humor, though - not funny. And especially not comedians saying “fuck” for a cheap laugh.

Awkward humor- as in hidden cam shows where the goal is to make the mark appear as awkward and weirded out as possible. Borat to a lesser extent. I just end up feeling sorry for whoever is being goofed on.
I don’t think most black comedians are funny at all. With few exceptions their acts are interchangeable. “Black people are cool and hip while white people are lame”. That shit is old, brothers!
Yeah. They don’t come anywhere near the wit of, say, a Gallahger or a Jeff Dunham. That’s funny, right there, I don’t care who you are.
Is it possible you’re just bigoted against New Yorkers?
I agree on the marriage jokes. If marriage is such a trap, then get divorced, it’s allowed nowadays. For a while here on the Dope there was a whole bunch of men who referred to their wives as “SWMBO” - she who must be obeyed. That smacks of so much…ick that I finally said something about it. Really? Your marriage is that one-sided? You think it’s funny to joke about that?
I don’t actually mind jokes about animals, but coming up to someone and making a joke about their dog to their face is pretty goddamn rude.
Back to the humiliation humor - I thought Borat was pretty funny until I found that a lot of people in the movie had either no idea what he was doing, or only a partial idea until he took it to the next level. Much less funny and I haven’t watched it since. There are still funny parts, mainly the parts when it’s just him and his toady but some of it is just awful.
Thanks Tahssa! I’m STILL laughing about ‘Ow, My Balls’ - and yeah, I hate that shit.
I’m just glad that my list of things that I find funny far outweighs the stuff I don’t. Otherwise I’d have to make up stuff for my own amusement. Which wouldn’t include puppy-punting or blowing up cats but there might be a jaunty raccoon hat in there somewhere. Though not atop a dead baby. Or as a resting ledge for some dick that needed to be sucked by Adam Sandler et al.
Possible, but not likely: non-American, never been to NY (only visit to the US east coast was to Boston) – but would like to go there one day, don’t really know anything good or bad about NY beyond movies and TV.
My “New York Neurotic” label for certain comedies with elements I find squirm-inducing just came from several of them being set in NY. Seinfeld (worst offender), Mad About You, Friends (sometimes), and Will & Grace being notable examples.
Amusingly they were probably all shot in LA. 
Yeah, but did you hear about the poet who entered the pun contest at the state fair? Top prize was $500, so he was very motivated, and spent days coming up with a dozen of the wittiest, cleverest puns you ever heard. On the day of the contest, however, he found out that the number of entries was limited, so he removed two puns from his entry sheet, leaving him with only ten.
The next evening, the results of the contest were posted. The poet ran back to the state fair as fast as he could, hoping that one of his efforts had won. But he was disappointed to find that no pun in ten did.
When Caucasians go around calling themselves “gringos” as if its some kind of cute silly nickname for them. I dot care how many Hispanics tell you that its NOT OFFENSIVE ITS JUST A SWEET NICKNAME, I stand my ground that it is NOT, it is in fact an offensive term used for “white people” and it is derogatory (even if the person using it doesnt mean it bad, you cant change the fact that it is an offensive word). People try to justify it saying, “well its not used for white people its used to refer to people from america”. This is completely incorrect. All white girls can be called gringas, and white girls only, regardless of where they are from. I always see people giving themselves nicknames online like “little gringa” or " el gringo" and they think its so funny and original and I Want to say, “you do realize that hispanics use that term to insult white people dont you? So why are you using it like some kind of term of endearment”? It would be like a Mexican going around nicknaming himself, " Mister Spic " or " Señor Wetback/Beaner". These are offensive names for people why go around calling yourself that???
I once knew a guy who regularly referred to “paying the wife tax,” by which he meant spending time with his wife. I tried hard to avoid his company.
I couldn’t agree more. watching slapstick almost makes me angry because its so dumb. I mean come on, are you really not clever enough to come up with smart humor and have to resort to stupid things like hitting someone with something or slipping on a banana peel?
Jackass movies are so stupid.
I’ve never heard of people thinking that the gruesome fight scenes in kill bill are “funny”. Cool, yes, because of the martial arts. But funny? It;s not really intended to be funny.
Well, have you browsed YouTube? One example that sticks out to me is the “squirrel catapult” videos where people bait a squirrel into climbing onto some sort of slingshot which launches it high into the air off-camera. Also people who like to throw things at cats (in person or on video).
Y una leche, whites from Argentina are no more gringos than blacks from Sweden are. On the other hand, it is perfectly possible for someone to be gringo and not white.
“Practical jokes” in general: hidden camera, those first thing in the morning prank calls…

Well, it must be free then.

Careful, it’s still wet.
