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.

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?

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
