Oh, definitely a YMMV. To the point, in fact, that I think any specific examples would have to go under a Troper Tales page (Although I'm not so sure that a page listing jokes that specific tropers were offended by will go over well.....)
Besides, I know there are several people who have a very sick and twisted sense of humor, can make and laugh at the most offensive of jokes, but will react this way as soon as a joke is made that hits a bit close to home for them.
ETA: Perhaps it would be less controversial and subjective if the examples were in-universe only? (IE A character in a show makes an off-color joke and the other characters get offended by it)

The examples that were previously there should be moved to the (currently non-existent) Troper Tales page.
Should Dude, Not Funny! only be about characters having that reaction in-universe, or is that totally crazy?
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Note that the Nostalgia Critic and Stephen Colbert (the talk show host) are characters. Real Life would be a celebrity saying "dude not funny" on the news or something.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Dude, Not Funny! is completely subjective to the viewer and should stay that way. If in-universe examples must be segregated, give them their own, new trope.
IMO, no trope in the Main namespace should be subjective to the viewer. Main.DudeNotFunny is in fact about in-universe examples of that reaction. TroperTales.DudeNotFunny is for viewer examples.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Agree with this policy — examples of people having the Dude, Not Funny! reaction in works on the main page, examples of tropers having the reaction to works on the Troper Tales page.
In-universe examples on the page, personal examples to Troper Tales, that's what Troper Tales is there for after all. Make a big, bold line in the description that personal examples should go to the TT page just to make sure people don't re-add their personal examples to the main page.

Kind of in the title. Not sure what else to add. The examples are really non-self explanatory and look like they shouldn't even be there. Also, should this page be listed as a YMMV?
