Oh, we get it, I think most of us are hoping this tasteless "joke" will just go away without us having to call anyone out for it.
I only mentioned the meaning of it because I (mistakenly) thought @Bob_Luken had expressed that he didn't understand the meaning. However, I now know that I simply misread what he had posted. Had I read his post correctly from the start you never would have heard another peep out of me about it.
In regards to the joke itself, I wouldn't call it a "haha" type of joke, but more of a joke that might get a quick initial laugh simply because of the serious subject matter, the unexpected punchline, and the overall surprise. The quick laugh would then be followed by some sobering thoughts.

Yeah I make a lot of jokes. Explaining them makes more funny. Or was that a joke?
Aristotle’s definition of the comic in Chapter 5 of The Poetics: “The ridiculous is a mistake or unseemliness that is not painful or destructive.”
The tragic and the comic are the same, in so far as both are based on contradiction; but the tragic is the suffering contradiction, the comical, the painless contradiction… . The comic apprehension evokes the contradiction or makes it manifest by having in mind the way out, which is why the contradiction is painless. The tragic apprehension sees the contradiction and despairs of a way out.
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
If I could have, I'd have hit LOL and Agree on that one.

Speaking of explaining the joke,..... I'll take it one step farther and explain somebody else's joke.

I stuck one of my halloween decorations in the Christmas tree. The wife and I thought it was much funnier than the kids did.
