Nowadays it's not so easy to make me laugh. When I recognize any kind of negative moral connotations on humor, it's ruined for me — and I rather like politically incorrect and dark humor, so it's my firm belief one thing has nothing to do with the other.
The problem is not so much bias, but degradation itself through the abasement of the other. Self-ridicule is ok, if it goes all the way and doesn't indulge or excuse in the faults in any way. Just the fact that some people may laugh at bad humor, doesn't make it good humor. Ethics and aesthetics are the same thing, and laughter is just the physiological signature of our inner state. Good humor is not measured by the unqualified quantity of laughs, but by who laughs and why he laughs.
If we have the impulse to laugh at wrong things, this means our mind is overwhelmed by bad conditionings. As an example of really bad humor I would say the movie Borat really wins the contest. South Park has some problems, but also has some very healthy comments and skillfully done jokes. Simpsons is mostly wholesome.
Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm dwell rightfully upon the moral divide, that's why they are so interesting. You can laugh at the jokes both ways, through identification or indulgence. Ambiguity in art is of the highest moral value, since it inescapably engages the interpreter.
Arrested Development is really light and silly, a type of almost surreal and patterned cross-referenced humor — completely wholesome. What Married with Children did wrong with the dysfunctional family, Development corrects.

Funniest mindless movie of the last few years. McLovin is the best, and the other guys grew on me.
In his job he needs to undervalue the suffering of others in order to make more money. Then there’s the smell, the ass and the eye. The degree of objectification of desire is in direct proportion to the self-debasement of the indulger. By degrading the other, he nullifies himself. The very indifference to the overjealous ones, the suppressed recalcitrant losers of the world, is what causes their victims to exist. Great disturbing movie.
A lost science fiction PBS movie with Taoist undertones is a real find, right? A guy discovers his dreams change reality—when he wakes up he finds himself in a world where the content of his dreams have actually happened. He of course gets scared after a couple of nightmares, seeks relief in drugs, and then, because of them, is lead to a psychiatrist. 
Here's for all the sissy Apple lovers out there... This is the ultimate design for my old Duron, which faithfully downloaded well over one terabyte (mostly movies, 1300+) always on 24/7/365 over the last four years. It also runs Apache and is a file and printer server, as well as a router for my home network (with four, also damn old and beautiful computers). Sometimes I dust it off with a vacuum cleaner.
I really enjoyed 
I have read the article on
In imdb a user commented: "Annoying little transition into some sort of regurgitated independent film values finds this shallow project from Brad Silberling offering little and providing less in this embarrassingly exploitive work." I agree, yet it is still watchable — even more so if you understand how clichê is the fabricated spontaneity in it. It is as if independent movie has aquired its own hollywood-like formulaicism. So it kind of becomes an interestingly consumated aesthetic portrail of so many cult-status fabricated stylishness examples we see around. Many people liked
