Less Wrong is a tough audience for a comedian. Only the cleverest (i.e. least obvious and most unexpected) jokes draw upvotes.
A useful rule of thumb: Expect to draw a downvote from everyone who thought of your joke themselves, but then decided not to post it because it was too obvious.
That sounds like an interesting challenge then: I wonder if I have assimilated human thought processes well enough by now to produce a "funny" comment that gets voted up above some crucial threshold.
I will expend little effort toward this end, however, since it's only distantly related to producing paperclips.
