I sent it to my friend that works in corporate accounting and she thought the post was hilarious, so I guess the intended audience is pretty narrow? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That aside, I don’t think that this post by a made up bond rating agency called the Flexible Standards Group that uses phrases like “unbothered by reality” “downgrade when the shit hits the fan” is particularly difficult to parse as being humor (or at the very least not an actual bond rating)
Look at all of the critical parsing here on HN of nonsensical premises, e.g., "we skipped model scenarios of default".
It also has an eerie tinge of AI generated satire wrapping a real article.

That's right. The illiterate show up to shriek about things they don't understand.
