You expect a professional comedian to know their audience will enough to make tasteless jokes work. You expect a stranger to not make jokes in poor taste at all.

It's not a double standard, it's just a standard. Do what is appropriate.

Your analogy conflates the medium and the message.

Then you're paying too much attention to the wrong part of the analogy.
