Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy discomfort/missed-context humor no matter the subject/participants? I always just feel embarrassed and ashamed that I can do nothing to help the fictional character out of their predestined impasse, and angry at the author for putting me in such a situation.

That's why I dislike so many "comedies". Too many rely on a character acting like an idiot; it's too easy to empathize with them.

Yes, clearly. The Office: bad. XKCD: good. It's all so clear to me now.
