-18 It's annoying when people make jokes about serious issues, amirite?

It's not exactly annoying. Some people just don't think things should be so serious. Unless the person is directing the joke at somebody specifically.

Yes, except everyone has a different perspective on what qualifies as a "serious issue." And some people use humor to deal with grief.

It depends on whether there's a tragic aspect to it. 9/11 jokes are very insensitive, as are Holocaust jokes, but making fun of politics is perfectly fine. Though I admit, I've laughed at my share of both.

It's annoying when they're deliberately trying to make it as offensive as possible to a specific audience. If you tell a holocaust joke to a holocaust survivor who has no intentions of hearing it, you can go fuck yourself.

Joking can be a way of coping. Also, unless it is directed at a specific person, people shouldn't be so offended.
