If there’s nothing funny about it, it’s not a joke
This doesn't excuse these people, but this is a bad way to define a joke. Funny is a subjective thing, a matter of taste, there is no objective "funny" to measure against to see if they qualify.
Jokes are about intent. There is no way to define what does, and does not, qualify as a joke without enough error as to make is useless. It is all about context, subject, timing, etc.
