  Sure off you the listener is also mean spirited.

    Or they recognize them as what they are, jokes.

      What constitutes a joke? If I punch you in the face then say, “hey it was just a joke” is it a joke? If the punch hurt you is it because you’re soft?

        You mean slapstick?

        The humor that is funny mainly because you suspend disbelief and watch something else get hurt?

        That type of comedy that practically dominated for several decades?

        The key to a lot of humor regarding misfortune is that it either isn't regarding you, hits a point that is true but not the core of who you are, or is far away enough that you can suspend disbelief.

        In other words, yes, because they're jokes

        Does a mean statement hurt your body in the same physical way as a punch to the face? That’s a really stupid comparison.

        I’d saying paying to go see a comedian who’s work you are familiar and comfortable with.

        If you’re genuinely unsure whether punching someone is a joke then I don’t think you should be joking with people

    Did you totally leave out a word or did you misconjugate?
