Well, I mean, if a joke or humor is bawdy, it's got to be funny enough to warrant it. You can't just have it bawdy or dirty just for the sake of being that - it's got to be funny.

Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
There's something very authentic about humor, when you think about it. Anybody can pretend to be serious. But you can't pretend to be funny.
I like bawdy humor. I love bawdy humor, but not dirty humor.
Sometimes, comedy and entertainment is not all about telling jokes; sometimes you just have to be you for a few moments.
Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.
In order for comedy to be funny you have to play the truth of the moment. But if you're not being completely truthful to the basis of the character, its not going to be funny.
I think what is important for things to be funny is if you the listener, or the reader, get a chance to supply the humor of it yourself.
It seems to me that humour is everybody's way of keeping sane and standing off from the situations so that they can see it intellectually, as well as emotionally, and I don't know whether you've noticed, but if somebody tells a joke, it's nearly always a mini fantasy.
I know you can be funny without being filthy.
People complain that joking about serious subjects is 'making light' of them. Isn't that a good idea? Comedy lets the air out of the bully's tires.
