My comment on this is that humorous comments can be good, and they can be
intimidating and confusing - particularly for people who don't get the joke,
and in particular for those whose first language is not English or other
related languages or whose culture is not conducive to humor in a technical
context. People who are in the know, and get the jokes, don't see this as a
problem because, well, they get the joke.
In my opinion, this is a good argument to discourage such style from appearing
in new comments. But it does not seem enough to rephrase the existing ones.
Clarifications can be added, but the older comments should persist for as long
as they remain technically correct.
