Let us save our effort and just lie down and die. 
The reality of it is that it is hard for people who are used other cultures to comprehend western humour. It's not a bad thing - it's just the same as I don't find most Japanese humour very funny - perhaps if I had a better command of the culture, history and language.... But you will find that every nation has it's "inside jokes". Western society the most internally diverse language, culture and history of all existing cultures, rivalled only by Asian culture. This means our humour has extra layers which can be hard to understand initially.
Even a lot of the Goyim in 21st century Western society find much Western humour hard to understand. Shakespeare is the classic example. Without knowing the historical background of Cole Porter's "Anything Goes", the goyim would find the old style of singing to be it's most amusing feature.
