Absent any context, it evokes for me a negative context. I hear a frat boy saying it, in a lesbian hating, misogynist and pussyphobic way.

I just encountered the original source myself. Now that I see it in its context, and know from whom it came, I must change my vote to stupid and offensive.

Can it be stupid and offensive, but also kind of funny? I admit I do occassionally find humor in things I know are offensive.

Funny and offensive, or rather funny because it is offisive (new-school offensive).
