Interestingly, humor often is irreverent. For example, how long after 9/11 was it okay to emabrk on humor about it. I know it sounds strange, but South Park did it - and brilliantly so IMO with a goat dressed as La Nicks. So, comedianes have a fine line to walk and many do it successfully. I will never forget when Joan Rivers made her first joke about Edgar who was her husband who killed himself. She said she waited awhile before bringing him back into her act, which he had been part of for years. She said the audience would have no part of it and in fact gave her a few boos at first. Another good example was Ted Danson in black face at a comedic benefit for Whoopi Goldberg's (his girlfriend at the time) - the media crucified him - but I I and Goldberg thought it was hilarious. So, I guess it is all subjective.
