Any other controversial type I need to add?

Ethnic jokes.

Hmmm. Gotta think on this one. I think I can be okay with any of them if they're done in good taste.

However, the textbook jokes of any of these that anyone could use/everyone's heard a million times/are bad taste, I'm not okay with any of them :V

I wanna say "political" but it's more of a case of "I don't get Political jokes"

I'd say ethnic or based on stereotype; also ones in reference to rape or beating of women to force submissive-ness.
Though obviously not unheard of exceptions

The worst are the ones that invoke both of these as a way to attack Japan (which I have to deal with a lot actually).

Ethnic ones. Or, more precisely, any dealing with a suppressed minority.

As long as they're not malicious in nature, I'm okay with all of them

it all depends on intent and audience.

There's also this. If I can tell someone is just kidding and are aware what they're saying isn't true, it's fine

It's when people make a joke like "Haha, wife beaters" and actually find that type of violence amusing.

It's to be assumed any of these have a time and place, but that doesn't mean all are moot from being especially irking to you.

I went with dirty jokes because most of the jokes I've heard that I was not with were ones making light of or condoning some really nasty stuff.

None of the above.

Ethnic jokes (particularly racist ones), jokes based on stereotypes, and dark humor; though I can put up with dark humor a lot better than the other two.

Racist jokes, jokes mocking a person for something they have no control over and rape jokes are never, ever funny, I don't care who the the audience is. If I hear people make those kinds of jokes, I'll assume they're an ass and I have better things to do with my time than talk to them.

For me, it all comes down to context.  Some things can be funny in certain situations that are absolutely not funny in others.

Yeah I'm okay with most jokes as long as they're not malicious or anything. But jokes about tragedies and things like that are almost always
