There is no official measure of the quality or wittiness of a joke, as all joke are different when it heard from different people. So I can not judge from a subjective mean, but simply to me and my foreign friends, we love it!
After all these years' westernization or americanization, we got nothing from any of other's culture. We listen to rap and dress in XXL without knowing what the hell is Hip Hop, we tribute to Michael Jackson without knowing his music, we know Brad Pitt is a pretty face dude in the Hollywood movie without knowing his Foundation ''Make it right''. We obsessed with Obama without hearing his full speech once.
So please, their funny jokes is not made for you! How big the Hong Kong market you think really is? If you are not happy with the ''gag'' in Transformer, go ahead and watch the local film and do a little support and contribution to the local film industry, or you are just someone who are not happy with anything at all!
Go into their culture is not about putting their icons on the t-shirt or talk in the way they talk or buying their luxury brand while you don't know who is the designers!
Culture is all about putting yourself in their shoes, knowing their pass and present and even the future, knowing them in face not from TV or magazine! Come on boys, do a little culture studies before you can even judge others' jokes, what do you think if you tell the best local joke to a American?
