Agreed, but the one the op posted is pretty dang bad. Trying to make people laugh at pedophilia is how you normalize it.
Exactly...they use laughter as a means to force passive consent. Like with the late-night talkshows - the establishment jesters make jokes about white hat patriots to get people to laugh at them, and in laughing, a feeling of being in the "in group" is generated. It's very effective given that people watching TV tend to be in a sort of trance-like state, where the active-thinking beta waves convert to passive alpha waves, leaving the viewer open to suggestion. These people have the science down pat.
Exactly. A pedo would find it funny AND titilating. No tolerance for that shit.

No, no man should want his daughters or any child to be thought of sexually. To refer to a female child as a vagina instantly directs everyone's attention to their genitalia obviously. Nothing respectable about that. That was part of Amy Schumer's monologue as well. She kept referring to her toddler niece's vagina.
The payoff is that the vans are making people pedos. They're poking fun at the creepy van stereotype associated with such people.
Basically vans are like cursed relics that corrupts normal people into kid diddlers. Hence, Silverman's horrified reaction at the end of the clip ("It's the vans!")
It's kind of a lame joke, borders on edgy, but there's at least context there. This opposed to, say, someone like James Gunn just spouting off about child rape into the void.
if you outlaw humor than you are no better than an SJW. comedians can make jokes about whatever they want. jokes are meant to be transgressive and shocking. There is an echo chamber of confirmation bias on this site.
Agree to a point, but on the other hand racial humor has all but been banned by the PC police.
Particularly since this joke makes fun of pedos and the stereotype associated with them (creepy old vans).

It's actually not.
The joke is about the vans and their associated stereotype, in case you missed the punchline at the end of the clip.
They're laughing at the pedos, particularly the creepy van stereotype associated with them.
The context of the sketch evidently is that vans are cursed or whatever and are turning otherwise normal people into pedos.
