If someone tells a joke that's morally questionable, is it okay to laugh?
The question of whether it's okay to laugh at morally questionable jokes is a complex one. On one hand, humor can be a way of coping with difficult or uncomfortable situations, and laughing can provide a sense of release or catharsis. However, laughing at jokes that perpetuate harmful stereotypes or make light of serious issues can contribute to a culture of insensitivity and disrespect.
It's important to remember that humor can be a powerful tool, but it should never be used to excuse or minimize the suffering of others.

Either way, it's wrong. I won't say I never do that, but it's rare.
I'm not in favor of bad humor. Laughing at other people's' suffering 'is not okay! https://yoo.rs/humor-is-humor-zolang-het-niemand-kwetst-1516609131.html?Ysid=8138

Depends on the situation, of course.
I sometimes watch standup comedy. They do nothing else. If it's not meant to be hurtful, it can be very funny.

To be honest, I think everyone is guilty of it. Sometimes comments are very wrong but very funny. I don't make those jokes to anyone, but sometimes a joke comes at home in response to something on TV, for example, where we say, “Oh, this is really not possible! “.
Laughing at everyday things isn't bad, by laughing you release the stress and sorrow that it may have caused you. It's not bad to laugh at silly situations, the bad thing is to make fun of someone else's physical condition or something painful.
Of course, I don't condone hurting someone with jokes, but black humor can be a good way to process or uncover mistakes, which then need to be addressed.
No, under no circumstances. I hate these kinds of jokes and say something about them. Just like a roast, I often think it goes way too far. Or I don't get that humor.
