I have one and I'm kind of proud of it. Don't get me wrong, I find over-the-top humor funny too but I think it takes a certain level of skill to tell a good joke with wordplay or sarcasm.

Because they don't understand it.
People hate what they can't understand.

The only people who resent sarcasm are the ones who aren't clever and intelligent enough to understand it. I love sarcasm, and I am naturally witty and sarcastic. I think that it does take skill, and I'm proud of it. I make a ton of people laugh. And sarcasm isn't necessarily intended to hurt someone. Just go look at the ecard on the Hallmark website called "Sarcastic Wednesday".

Because it takes skill to have an intelligent sense of humor. People gravitate toward fart jokes and racist jokes because like most things in life, they want the easy way.

They just can't take it.
Personally, I love hearing dry humor. It fits.

Probably because it generally gets the message across with out a lot of frills... I was raised on it, the apple didn't fall far.

Same here! They don't get it because they have no sense of humor at all.

Because it takes intelligence to get subtle jokes, and those who are lacking don't like to be shown as lacking.

Well some people think that their joke is really funny and get offended when others don't think the way they do
