I know this isn't the point, but they're not even good jokes? On a technical level. Forget the subject matter for a moment, they're just bad puns that aren't very funny or creative.
Agree, but the point of these "jokes" isn't to be funny. The first objective is to offend and cause harm. The second is to phrase the offense in such a way that the offender has the option to say, "it was just a joke" when confronted by the offended. The guy has far more interest in causing harm to people than making them laugh.
Most likely had the idea to make some puns. Asked Grok and posted the responses he got. Path of least effort.
