I guess... The jokes seemed pretty obvious to me. "Izza goat! Look at how subtle his reaction is! BARELY THERE! THAT IS COMEDY! Also, the goat was mentioned like 5 episodes ago and now we're finally showing you one! Remember that comment? Memory is comedy!"
It just seems like they think you SHOULD laugh at it rather than it actually being funny. I mean, so someone lost their arms and eventually his claw ended up in a guy's backside? That's just blatent humor right there. It IS in your face humor. Only, not all that funny to me. Seinfeld was hilarious though.
And, "it tastes like sad" is a pretty pathetic attempt at "normally, flavors don't taste like emotions, the fact that we mentioned it in that context means it's funny" type of humor. Now on the other hand, "it tastes like happy" coming out of the mouth of a doll in Family Guy, that's comedy. "What are those horrible orange creatures over there?" *response* "Tell them I HATE them!" There's stuff that's funny.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
