Because it tends to degenerate into the cheap shot. And it's laughing at people, their weaknesses etc.--the sarcastic person is saying they think they're superior to their target, so they can be as hurtful as they like. It shows a deep inferiority complex or smouldering resentment.
Al Pacino said it best: "Irony is hypocrisy with style" (Looking for Richard)

Well sarcasm is considered to be the lowest form of humour because It's rude and impoliteness disguised with humourous appeal. The intention when oneis being sarcastic is to state the obvious or to politely make a rude remark or comment.. So in all it's not really humour..
Good luck

The actual saying (attributed to Oscar Wilde) is "sarcasm is the lowest form of humor but the highest form of wit".

Because sarcasm is for the underdogs, being the highest form of wit.
That's why the Scots and Irish are so bloomin' funny!...

Because it takes the least amount of effort.
After all the person making the statement does all the work.
