There are plenty of things that are funny without being harmful and hateful . The comedians whose stock and trade are all about being blatantly insultive and hateful generally don't last long anyway .
Being funny really is very subjective . What you might think is funny isn't necessarily funny to anyone else and the whole concept of PCness isn't very well understood by most people and has very little to do with comedy although a lot of people think it does.. The idea of political correctness has been around for much longer than any of us have and has only been used in such derogatory terms in the past few decades .
