Should comedy have limits, or should anything be allowed in jokes?

In our country some people have the strange idea that comedy somehow gives you a free pass from anti-discrimination laws (in the same way that some people think that anything goes on social media). "Humour" is traditionally used in the workplace to marginalise women in particular and mask behaviours and opinions that people would not openly admit to in a non-jokey situation.

My own tastes are very limited. I can't be bothered with any comedy that relies upon tired stereotypes or is in the service of entrenched political interests. When laughing at those in power, however, there are (almost) no limits.
