It would work if rather than clicking the post they laughed at,
they clicked the first post in the thread that lead to the funny, & people perusing the popular page clicked the post icon & read the whole thing, thus understanding context & punch line fully.
This is far too much effort for everyone though I suspect.

Aye, we've got a lot of punchlines
but not many jokes on there.
