Sorry to disagree, but Cruelty and Malice Comedy is very Traditional with short movies and TV, it dates back to the BW days and the silver screen Here are some names of great Comedians that have quite a bit of cruel humor: (please excuse the spelling)
Abbot and Costello,
Buster Keaton,
Lorel and Hardy,
The three stooges,
Marx Brothers (they also included more Mental abuse on the protagonis)
Charlie Chaplin.

Cruel Humer has always been just good old FUn, sometimes a bit slapsticked sometimes just cruel but always just in "Good Fun"
Alos it is very common that people do not see eye to eye on thier sence of humor, for example some people Hate the Marx Brothers but lover Chaplin. Some people hate all of these (Like my wife) and some people like them all Like myself. Duck soup is a very funny, and Abbot and Costello are a great team despite the joke usually being cruel to costello.

PS, Voxxyn, I think your last few post a few days ago were well writen to express your view. But I must take the opposite view because I did enjoy watching the episode. Maybe its because I am "a Big Insensitive Jerkface" like bloo.
