crude joke

Off-color wisecrack

A crude joke is one that's coarse, vulgar, or sexually explicit—humor that trades in bodily functions, genitalia, or taboo subjects without refinement: He told a crude joke about the farmer's daughter.

The crudeness may be the point, getting laughs through shock or transgression rather than wit.
