I think it's ok when the joke is too obvious and it's done as a tradition. E.g. agadmator (a famous chess YT channel) shared a video of one of the most amazing chess games ever played (from 1852) and claimed "Magnus Carlsen [1] retired from chess after losing like this". I mean this is clearly a joke. We all know Magnus won't retire after losing one random match against a random person. But it's just kinda funny.
