Fret no cinnamon bun, you'll do amazing! Worst case scenario is you'll fail it, but you know what? That's okay since as long as you went in there and gave it 1000% of an effort, then that's all that matters. Don't worry about disappointing nobody since the only person you should worry bout lettin
down is yourself.

But yeah tbh I feel the reason why it ain't working is because i'm a salty sardine naturally and its just going through me like a filter; there's too much toxins for it to remove.
Any joke where the punchline is basically just to make fun of a marginalized group of people, or any joke that makes fun of really horrendous experiences that a lot of people have experienced and can easily give people flashbacks.
I'm not against offensive humour where the joke is that there is a lot of swearing or adult themes are in the joke, and I think there can be a time and a place for humour about dark subject matter as long as the jokes are meant to frame the dark subjects as bad and not good and aren't presented in a way that has an extremely high chance of giving flashbacks to many audience members because it's a common experience (I.E., rape is extremely common and so joking about it has a high chance of giving flashbacks to an audience member), although preferably if the comedian has actually experienced the dark subject matter first hand (for example, I sometimes joke about things related to severe mental illness, which can sometimes make the jokes a little dark, but I've experienced severe mental illness first hand, so it's coming from a place of observing real life mental illness experiences, and not just making fun of mentally ill people from a place of looking down on them).
I think where I draw the line is humour where 1. Certain (usually marginalized) people are excluded from the joke in order for other people to find it funny (like a homophobic joke that is funny to a straight audience but makes gay people feel excluded), or 2. The joke is more likely to hurt people than to make them laugh (like rape jokes, or bigoted jokes that make bigots feel more justified in hating the groups that they hurt)
