The same reasons why animated characters and puppets can get away with it... it's not the same thing as the established groups. If it falls flat they can just hide behind, "sorry that was a bad joke"

but sometimes they can't like Bill Maher and the 9/11 quip, which I thought was more spot on than any of the rest I was hearing during those days.
