This isn't exactly rationalist, but it corrlates...
A man with Asperger's walks into a pub. He walks up to the bar, and says "I don't get it, what's the joke?"
Is this being downvoted due to being perceived as offensive, or because its not funny? I certainly did not intend it to be offensive, in fact I first saw it when reading a joke thread on an Asperger's forum.
I haven't downvoted it.
On the other hand laughing at how people with Asperger sometimes aren't socially skilled, hasn't much value.
Its supposed to be funny due to metahumour. I certainly agree that simply laughing at people with poor social skills is neither witty nor productive.
Can't speak for others, but anti-jokes are throughly explored already.
Since others might be interested, here is the link to the only article I could find on lesswrong about antijokes.
