Perhaps what Goat Fell is getting at, and I tend to agree with him, is that there are some subjects which are unsuitable as a subject for comedy.
There is a sort of superciliousness about those who think they can sort out, or point out, other people's attitudes, by mocking them.
This leads to an equally condescending attitude amongst those who like to think of themselves as sophisticated enough to 'Get the joke'
It is unkind, and seems to suppose that those who don't get it, or are the subjects of said comedy, are thick.
