One trick to know if a sentence is funny or controversial that works quite well: Simply have the bot post it in an IRC channel or chat-room and count the number of responses it elicits (and give extra weight to words like "lol").
The more people fail the Turing-test, the funnier/controversial the statement.

For jokes in this pattern, there's a somewhat more hard-coded twitter bot that I think does a better job: https://twitter.com/ilikelikeilike It does jokes of the form "I like my like I like my : , , [and not] ". noun1 is taken from a hand-coded list (hookups, fellas, lovers, spouses, etc.). noun2 is chosen randomly. Then the adjectives are just the top three adjectives found preceding noun2 in a corpus. So for exampl…
I considered working on this once. Especially "comeback" generation. If you look at the comments (or replies to comments) on 9GAG, most of them are pretty generic and follow some basic rules. I figure even a computer can learn to make them.
I don't agree that such a responsibility exists, but it is probably worth keeping in mind that others do if you are interested in surfacing computer generated content like this. I would be wary of surfacing it without some form of auditing.
