DanielLC's comment indicates he at least didn't get the joke. And if people downvote every time they don't laugh, that's a great way to encourage people to not make jokes.

I don't think DanielLC's comment does indicate that. (It could. But I know that for a variety of reasons I have sometimes chosen to treat comic exaggerations at face value despite understanding that they are intended as comic exaggerations, and I don't see any reason to suppose that no one else ever does that.)
