I think in comedy the practice of using swear words as punctuation in lieu of actual wit has some similarity to the cgi overload in modern movies substituting for an intelligent script. I (regretfully) swear like a navvy myself at times and am up for vulgarity in comedy when its accompanied by actual - you know - comedy. Examples: Viz (uk magazine), Beavis and Butthead, etc. This was just childish, unoriginal humour and added to the cliched visual presentation was presumably mostly aimed at particularly dull teenagers.
