I won't try and say it isn't a bit problematic, but there's an oddly cathartic sense to Cum Town's humor. It probably does some negative influence on more impressionable listeners but I think the racially/sexually charged humor on the show is more of a commentary on contemporary societal attitudes towards racism and sexuality than it is on the groups of people who are the subjects of the jokes. I don't know if that makes it ok, but it's certainly better than outright racism.
It's kind of like the difference between finding it funny that Bill Maher thought he could get away with saying the n-word vs thinking it's ok that he said it.
Some of the appeal to me is sorta laughing at myself for still having that immature sense of humor. The fact that I think any of this idiot shit is funny at all actually doubles down and makes it funnier.

It's absolutely the best kind of great, stupid catharsis. Like hanging out with your funniest friends in middle school study hall.
Lol that's almost exactly how I describe it to people. Dumbass middle school humor with better impressions.

Definitely. They're trying to make each other laugh by saying deranged shit and it works on me too.
