"Yet" is there to kind of distinguish that the punchline may be "rude" but it is true. Like, if you ask someone who doesn't have arms to "give you a hand", You are making a joke at their expense. It is mean yet true. "Yet" sounds better than "and" because "yet" kind of says that "jokes aside it is true".
