What? As in "Bro, that's totally stupid"?

I guess that I'm more into cleverness and subtlety. Humor that directly or indirectly makes fun of people strikes me as sad, not funny.

The parent's joke (about the probe going to the sun at night, since during the day the sun is hot) is both clever (though not original, it's old), and in no conceivable way "directly or indirectly makes fun of people".
