I think it basically comes down to who's telling the joke, who they're telling it to, why they're telling it, and how they're telling it. Intent isn't everything, but I believe it must be taken into account along with the rest of the context.

But enough of that boring pseudo-academic horseshit. Here's one of my mom's favorite dead baby jokes, which was originally told to her by her sister, a labor/delivery nurse:

So this woman has just had a really rough birth, and as she's recovering the nurse walks in holding her baby. The mother reaches out her arms to take her son, when suddenly the nurse starts tossing him high up in the air and barely catching him, and then another nurse comes in and they start playing catch with the baby, all while the mother is screaming bloody murder for them to stop. Finally one of the nurses deliberately misses, and the baby flies headfirst into the wall and then lands on the floor with a loud smack. The mother freezes in shock, while the two nurses start laughing and the first one says, "April Fool's, born dead!"
