I'm with you. I tend to avoid ambush humor in general, and you articulated very well the reasons why.
In the trailer for Bruno when he's back stage at a fashion show in his velcro suit getting stuck to everything all I could think was that some poor assistant was likely in tears trying to fix the things that were being messed up before they went onstage. Making other people's lives more difficult just isn't funny.
