@metaltao Accessability is definitely a large part of it. Also that jokes that are made ironically at first (e.g. memes) tend to become a genuine piece of comedy for people, either because irony is a slippery slope or people just find it that funny. Vulgar jokes have been around since jokes have been around (we're talking Socratic fart jokes here) so it's probably not due to any deterioration of intelligence or anything; it's just a free-for-all fundament of human sociality I suppose.
