It isn't difficult to make people laugh by being offensive. You don't even have to be all that creative-- you just have to know how to take advantage of the same mechanism that makes little kids laugh at the word poop. When little kids grow up, they apparently will pay good money to laugh at more complex forms of that kind of "comedy". It isn't "edgy" in any sort of meaningful way, because there isn't anything edgy about that type of thing; it's actually pretty standard fare.
