Games Being too childish with crude Humour

[Hound174]

So, I just finished Bulletstorm, an amazing game with addictive gameplay and awesome visuals with tearing up as many people as I can. Afterwards I went out to read some reviews for it, Just because that's what I do, and every single reviewer had to point out the childish humour, and how pathetic it is.

Now I don't recognize the humour as clever most of the time, but it didn't ruin my experience, it didn't hinge it, hell the childish humour even worked in making me laugh here and there, it helped drive the characters in the game, because that's who they were.
And yet constantly I'm hearing people complain about this, was I the only one who enjoyed Bulletstorm's humour? allbeit there is much better, but it didn't leave a stain on me, the part with the giant robot was actually hilarious. Similar thing's have been said about Duke nukem, although I think that's just because the game was bland, not really the humour.

TL;DR So do you guys think that childish humour is never funny? does it drag down your experience in a game?

It didn't hurt my experience with Bulletstorm (though the short campaign and lame multiplayer did), but it certainly didn't help.

Childish humor is occasionally funny, but when it's awkwardly packed into a shooter meant for somewhat older players, it's a bit condescending. Like, they expect their audience to be a bunch of idiots who laugh at this stuff.

To me the campaign didn't feel that short, but that's only because every game I buy these days has a short campaign.. this one felt longer than the average campaign I play.
Well personally it didn't feel awkward to me, Duke nukem did, Bulletstorm seemed fine. I was too engaged with the game and occasional chuckle moments.

Childish humor can be funny as long as it's done in a clever, non-serious way.
If one takes it too far without an hint of irony or tries to ram it down your throat then it's just kind of sad.
or refuge in audacity, which is when something goes so over-the-top, it can't be taken seriously.

great example of crude humor done well.

well I still havent been able to pick bulletstorm (damn collage for taking my money) but all the game play Ive seen that has what your talking about seems fine with me. the game more or less seems revolved around it. So to dock the game because of it kinda of seems wrong to me.

Honestly, I judged the game as a grinding stupid shooter.
...It technically is, But it's so AWESOME.
