Yeah, to me, comedy is only actually funny if it's based on something that plausibly happened to the person in real life and it's an interesting, original or clever take on this situation. Not bruteforcing plays on words unless they also come up organically or tie absolutely well to the plausible real life situation. But then it's more like a cherry on top rather than the main funny part. I think a good comedy should also be able to work through multiple languages. It shouldn't be dependent on having those specific words in that specific language.
