At the risk of getting too meta, I think it's more about the purpose of the joke. If it points out something in a funny way, that can be appreciated, but if it's purely a joke (as seen on reddit, though reddit is of course not the only place), it's just not what people come here for. If you want to read puns or rickroll references in the comment threads, I don't think HN is the place one should be looking. Specifically for u/SiempreViernes: I did understand the joke, but I did not upvote it because I don't think it is the kind of content I want to see more of. (But I did also not downvote because I think it received enough downvotes and I don't want to add more negativity.)
