I think you’re right. Fascination with the taboo along with upbringing that tells us body functions are supposed to be kept private is probably translated into crude humor to hide our discomfort with them in public.

I tend to think that people find them funny because of what in psychology is called a defence mechanism ie like a nervous laugh. People laugh because we all do it but its kind of taboo.
