Is there good reason to forgive off-color jokes when they're especially funny?
A lot of people, even people who are quite morally rigorous, assent in practice to the norm that an off-color joke being hilarious can make it acceptable. I cannot emphasize enough that, in my experience, even people one would think are morally rigid seem in many cases to give at least tacit consent to this principle.
