Something being a joke means it's [insert negative attribute] enough to be laughable, but it being a bad joke mean it's [insert negative attribute] but not enough to be funny.
I think a joke is something you can't take seriously. Could be good, bad, ugly, absurd, weird, stupid or something else. Either way, it's harmless, and makes you laugh.
If something is called a bad joke, it has some of those properties, but it isn't funny. It's actually quite serious, but in a bad way.

A bad joke doesn't necessarily imply [negative attribute], though.
Could just be ironic or surprising amount of [neutral attribute].
So it's poorly executed but earnest
