I draw cock on occasion and anime is disgusting.

It's a revolting thought that stuff like this gets broadcasted at primetime in Japan.

Whenever I hear "artistic expression"...

anime should be illegal

Except DragonBall z thats p cool

Explaining a joke and intentionally overreacting to it isn't really a good argument against it. Comedy's highly subjective, but it's usually something that defies expectations either because it's ironic or it's absurd. challengerX sarcastically talking about the plot when he means fan-service is ironic, and even though you might not find it funny, that's funny to a lot of people.

How is that not answering the question? I literally said that Challenger's post is ironic, and people find that funny. That's the joke.

Two nukes weren't enough. We gotta fund construction for an orbital Ion Cannon to make sure we get the job done next time.

i find more humor in irony than any person on this website

but irony in itself is not funny, just like saying "poop" in itself is not funny

Well, that's the thing, comedy's highly subjective. There are definitely people who will think that saying "poop" randomly is funny, because it's absurd. Most of us have higher standards than that though, and realize that this is just a very low-effort appeal to absurdity.
Irony can be similarly shallow and dull, but if you think about it, a lot of great acts have this at their core. The Colbert Report is funny, because he satirizes and exaggerates points of view that we're all familiar with. He mixes the familiar with the unfamiliar. Anti-jokes can be funny too, because they set us up for a pun, and then they deny our expectations with a very straight answer. That's irony.
