I had a friend who only ever let out a barrage of embarrassingly un-funny, tasteless, lame and offensive jokes. She's shifted cities and I don't even talk to her anymore. People would be too embarrassed to be seen with her in public. She's never had a relationship because people are too scared of her. She actually ruined her entire image trying to be edgy and cool, and when she actually grew up and grew a brain, she realized that she had ruined her social life.
I don't even keep in contact with her, and we were good friends for a significant amount of time. It just got so bad that I stopped talking to her. She was loud, in your face, aggressive and confrontational, and it was all for show because she wanted to stand out. She did, but for all the wrong reasons.
Personally I find tasteless jokes in moderation and in the appropriate time to be amusing. Occasionally someone will say something that is hilarious because it's so morbid or disturbing- But even then I am more laughing at the person who said it for being stupid. Only occasionally, though, because a morbid joke that is actually witty is pretty bloody rare.
