Would sharks be embarrassed if they knew we could totally see their dorsal fins above the water? Comedian Louis C.K. thinks so, and it really makes you wonder.

Then again, a lot of Louis’ jokes in his newest HBO comedy special “Oh My God” make you wonder. Are, perhaps, people with nut allergies more expendable than the rest of us? Why on earth would a woman, under any circumstances, go on a date with any man, ever? Why can’t we make penguins, seals, walruses and sea lions one species so we can stop being confused at zoos?

Louis will not disappoint old fans of his work with this hour-long set, and, like previous specials, he will have the show available for download on his website in September for $5. That’s not to say that “Oh My God” is the funniest of his shows — it’s not. “Hilarious” in 2010 and “Chewed Up” in 2008 remain on the top-tier of Louis C.K. comedy, but that in no way makes “Oh My God” not worth the watch. Though C.K. said in a teaser about his April 13 show that he expected some people to watch and say, “Oh my god, that’s just awful,” the jokes were far from his more offensive ones. If anything, the set is tame in comparison to his rigorous masturbation jokes of comedy-past. He strayed away from his usual self-shaming tones of getting older and fatter, and even avoided, for the most part, jokes detailing his annoyance with his children. These are Louis C.K. comedy staples many fans will look forward to in his new special and be disappointed not to find.

Instead, C.K. focuses heavily on more observational comedy rather than personal, drawing offensive conclusions about vague groups of people, like individuals under 45 years of age and actively-dating men, rather than pointing out specifics. His jokes won’t make your skin crawl with reluctant agreement, but you’ll laugh all the same.

“Oh My God” may be an inappropriate title, but consistently funny stand-up comedians shouldn’t be judged by their shows’ monikers anyway.

My grade: B+
