At it's simplest, my objection is much more about the fact that this joke is not even funny (subjective, I know) and highly overused (objective). I think we could argue too that because the joke is overused, it is also not funny since jokes generally need to be fresh to be as funny as it was the first time. On top of that, it's just mean and like you said, it's just a joke so it shouldn't be taken too seriously. But if it's just the same repeated joke you're acting more like a bully than a comedian. For example, if you got chocolate on your face and people called you "poo-cheek" it may be funny the first 3 times but after your entire class calls you that, it's no longer "just a joke".
