This. In other words, you have to be there. I also think that attitudes related to "what's funny" are somewhat generational. A good example might be the old Saturday Night Live stuff with John Belushi & Co. It was completely hilarious back in the day as we were sitting our the TV smoking pot and ritually watching Saturday Night!! I'm sure many in the subsequent generations don't find it funny at all and likewise I really never got into the newer SNL stuff after the original crew went their separate ways.
Yeah, there are a few things that translate and some thing which are just not funny to a person who "wasn't there".
The Belushi "hamburger" skit is one of those for me. Maybe it would be funny if I was going to places like that before I saw it on television.

That skit was a ripoff of the Monty Python spam skit.

they were exaggerating about the accents of the owner/operators a specific place in Chicago, so it really wasn't that everyone was going to those places to find it funny.
