Assuming that the other parties are offended by the cursing is the common response to these criticisms. I don't think anyone is saying that they're actually bothered by it, but rather that pointless cursing like this is formulaic, worn-out, and generally lame.

Agreed. If the cursing is the only funny part of the joke, it gets old pretty quickly. In fact, it seems at this point it's the opposite of offensive. I'm mostly just bored.
