Gee, I thought it was pretty amusing. I took the alterations to be intentionally bad in order to highlight the absurdity of Lucas' SE alterations (Greedo shooting first, the new krayt dragon roar, and "Nooooooo!" spring to mind). It's a form of hyperbole. As for the Yoda fart jokes, I don't think they were intended to be funny-simply-because-they're-fart-jokes. I took it to be a criticism of the new Lucas' sense of humor (Jar-Jar stepping in poo, getting farted at, etc.) as over against that of the old Lucas.
