If you want to vindicate your distaste, check out the "Joke Examples" section of the argument:

> And here are a few jokes that were created using this method: (...)

> "I'm awful at jogging, I'm running slower than windows 95" (...)

> "You're such a great guy! - I'm not a great guy. Abraham Lincoln was a great guy. I'm a barely adequate guy." (...)

These are two out of 6 examples there - all are extremely plain and boring, except maybe for the last (which is just barely funny).
