I think there is a line where comedy is no longer comedy. Joking about someone's physical condition due to an illness crosses that line.

The joke interpretation is literally a comparison to someone else who is beautiful and played a character who is strong. It's more of a compliment than a joke.
Part of the work of comedy is crossing lines. 'Lines' aren't the same for everybody, and they move around. Getting people to look outside the lines is the only way to make them think outside of themselves.
