Context and nuance should shape the boundaries. Know your audience, their sense of humor, that they will recognize it as humor and not serious, designed to break the tension in a depressing situation and not disrespectful, etc., etc. Unfortunately, we live in a 144 character digital age that eschews context and nuance to the point of having to Google their meaning.
