Cutting humor, biting humor, stinging humor.
No better than dirty humor. Or, at least, it is also bad.
If Salt Lake City were to seek acclaim for hosting a venue with clean humor, clean humor would not be enough. Mean humor would have to go, as well.
And, that is one of the most common forms of humor. So dominant is is, in fact, one almost wonders if it is possible to have humor without picking on someone. I see a distinction, however, and wonder if I can verbalize it right now. That humor which evokes feelings of hatred, contempt and scorn would not be welcome. You can find humor in the situation of another person, but your joke needs to be fashioned so that it does not draw feelings of disdain for that person.
If it does, it has crossed the line.
