The jokes were deliberately bad, but his delivery makes it incredibly funny, at least to me. I've watched that clip numerous times, and I've laughed until I cried on several of those occasions. I certainly am not pretending to find it funny to appear edgy, and it's kind of ridiculous to suggest that everyone who enjoys that clip is.It's like that Norm McDonald roast where any sensible observer would say "Norm McDonald sucks" but every fucking critic on the planet is all "no, you're a pleb, Norm McDonald doesn't suck, he's just doing comedy on a level beyond what you can comprehend, mortal, here, squint your eyes like this and you might one day ascend to comedy Valhalla with the rest of us."
