This is totally ignoring how most men jokes with other men vs how women talk to strange men they don't know.
Not a shock that women are a bit friendlier. Whereas men try to be a bit more clever for the sake of fun.
I spent a decade selling cars and the part I miss most is the totally crazy humor between salespeople and management. You know how a salesperson goes to talk to his manager every iteration of any negotiation? Every single time my manager would have a funny quip when I returned. And I'd also try to have something funny to say about either the manager or the customer or myself.
OP would label all this as hateful or negative which really it wasn't.
I'd say not all guys enjoy the kind of "guy talk" you're describing ... maybe it's harmless in your experience but it can be quite aggressive, or perceived as such, even if you're not emotionally bothered by it.
It's especially terrible if you have to go along in the workplace because you're talking to your boss and are expected to laugh about his (potentially charged) "funny quips" because "guy talk", amirite? Ugh ..
If you didn't like it, you'd probably make it shown in one way or another. And they wouldn't do it to you. There were several salespeople that didn't really know how or want to take part, and you simply didn't talk to them unless it was about work.
Ah "laddishness", the epitome of grown men acting like boys; from homophobic quips about a minor hairstyle change, to puking drunkenly at a holiday destination ("lads on tour") whilst blasting offensive music and pretending that the world is yours, as the locals desperate for your money are forced to shrug and smile.
