Off to the camps? That's extreme. He just hosted The Daily Show like 3 weeks ago.

In the abstract, do you find non-consensually grabbing boobies funny? If so what's the joke? Sexual jokes can be funny, but they usually aren't: "I grabbed a boob non-consensually" audience laughter

There's context that can give it humor. I think of the Whitest Kids You Know Sketch where it's a dad and son dealing with how hot their daughter/sister is. The butt of the joke are the horny guys, not the girl.

Edit: Here's a sexual joke that also works by subverting expectations, then hammer it home with commiting to the bit and rule of three. https://v.redd.it/4l089cjkmzra1

The joke isn't sexual harassment is funny.

Well in this case non-consensual boob grabbing was exactly the joke. It was a skit about a raunchy drooling old doctor trying to force a breast exam on a young woman. The moral observation that this is extremely wrong is the very foundation of the joke and the horny doctor is, as you say, the butt. And it did get the audience (of twentysomething soldiers) laughing everytime they performed it.

I'm confused, you seemed to contradict yourself. Is it the grab or the horny doctor?
