Cow teets don't look like sweaty old man boobs, as that alien's did. I don't think the motivation behind that scene was Luke trying to gross her out. If anything, he gave the impression that he didn't even think what he did was gross, it was just natural for him because of who he had become. And all that's fine but to me it came off as a transparent attempt to get laughter from the audience*. And I agree 100% with @Takhisis that it felt like a lot of people were laughing at various stupid jokes because they were conditioned to but it's obviously impossible to prove that. There were multiple moments where I just rolled my eyes at the juvenile humor and yet a lot of people were laughing with it.Well where does the milk you drink come from? I for once didnt give it a second thought. Luke's trying to repel Rey. He's trying to be gross and get her to leave. It makes perfect sense and I have no problem with it.
@Sommerswerd I wonder if your rankings will change with time? I thought The Force Awakens was close to brilliant when it came out but it's since dropped considerably with rewatches, time and additional reflection. I actually still like TFA but it's such a recycled plot that it frustrates me and keeps it from being one of the top 3 movies.
*And it's not like I suddenly don't like humor in my movies in general or Star Wars in particular. It's just that scene wasn't actually funny to me and was gross and at risk of sounding like a broken record, was the kind of humor I'd expect in Deadpool or another Marvel movie and not Star Wars.
