absolutely.

not every joke is going to land with everyone. sometimes they're not even jokes, just pointing out absurdities.

if they don't land with you, i wouldn't stress it. sometimes the humor is extremely nerdy. it's like the Far Side or Monty Python. it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's OK.
