The "of course" is an interjection modifying the first clause of the sentence. I can put it more or less wherever I want. The base sentence is "This is ridiculous, hence why it's funny", with "of course" being inserted as flavour - "Of course, this is ridiculous" and "This is ridiculous, of course" are equally valid.

Anyone who tells you that there is exactly one correct right way to write English is a filthy liar and not to be trusted. English exists to play with.
