In general, HN tries to be a place where only informative comments are prized, specifically excluding jokes. There are lots of funny jokes around here (and I don't usually downvote them myself), but the fear is that HN will turn into Reddit, where every post has dozens of joke comments attached. That's fun! I love Reddit. But it's not what HN tries to be.
