meaning
I came across the following sentence.
I'm in my heavy tank. as slow as it is, I'm bringing it to the front line to help my team.
Here are two questions.
First, Can you explain "as slow as it is" more easily to me? I guess that the original form is like "As the tank is slow as it is,". Right?
Second, I can't get the meaning of 'bringing'. please explain detailed or with alternate words.
It's called boilerplate because it has been 'field-tested' in courts of law and held to mean what it is intended to mean; just like real boilerplate, you can be confident that it will not explode under pressure.
Here's an example of Language for a Living Will from the website of the Attorney General of the State of Missouri (a "Living Will" is "a document that allows an individual to express wishes for medical care if he or she is unable to speak for him or herself"):
Boilerplate is not restricted to legal contexts; you may use the term anywhere you are speaking of language which is more or less guaranteed to accomplish what it is supposed to. For instance, much (perhaps most) computer code is such boilerplate.
Your definition's reference to "news stories" refers to the once common practice of distributing news releases as pre-cast plates of type; unlike text, this could not be edited into a different form but could only be inserted, as-is, into a newspaper's press.
OP probably came across the Facebook page Life Is Too Funny To Take Seriously or something similar.
The basic format X is too funny to take seriously (or more often, ...to be taken seriously) can be applied in many contexts. Obviously it would be a completely pointless thing to say about something intended to be funny/amusing (a slapstick comedy sketch, for example). So there's always some "tension" between two ways of looking at the thing (if your mother slipped on a banana skin that might seem funny to many, but probably not to you - certainly not to her - if she broke her back and was paralysed for life).
One well-known (but arguably, sick) example is The Darwin Awards (people who actually die doing stupid things, and hence improve the genetic stock of humanity by removing themselves from the gene pool). The general sentiment (for those not personally involved) can be summed up by the oft-quoted...
If you didn't laugh, you'd cry.
or
You've got to laugh, haven't you?

The construction
is used to emphasize the properties of the adjective used, meaning very + adjective
and is used to make a counterfactual statement
The use of bring in your example means to lead or to drive or to get.
It does not mean to carry.
