I'll point to the elephant in the room, EVERYTHING CAN BE MADE FUNNY. Even Rape. There. I said it. And I'll stand by that.
Why? I can understand someone being sensitive to it. To say none of the horrible things in this world should be made light of, because yes there is a certain degree of respect things like rape. like the holocaust. like death. like drunk driving. need to have, because they're horrible and that horrible shit happens to real people that have their lives horribly altered.
And I think, maybe those people that say it isn't funny don't dwell on those topics a lot in their brain or a lot stronger mentally then I am because hey... I was 5 when the concept of the apocalypse was told me (in a scenario on TV with a comet hitting earth and being told this could happen any moment) that was what ruined my childhood innocence. Even worse, I was soon brought up the idea of my parents dying of old age, it had me balling... and then there was the idea that I too was inevitably going to die- and I never had a concept of religion, so it became very real to me at a young age I was born literally just to die. But I've grown up contemplating these really horrifying existential things literally before I ever jerked off, and well....
Shit disturbs me. This is a horrible fucking world, a lot of the time I wish I was never born, but I'm here and I have to deal with it. This is how you deal with it, because if joke about it, if you mock it, you claim it and you can be somewhat less disturbed by it. If you were to think of these disturbing things in the physical form of someone who's about to kill you, that you have no hope of stoping, the humor is the way you spit in that guys face and say "Fuck you buddy, get on with it."
If you mean are those concepts by themselves funny? Then fuck no. Death, Rape, Halocaust, on their own aren't funny. They're fucking disturbing as all fuck.
