It's a question of "did you understand the humor in my last statement," just in fewer words. Unfortunately, people who have to ask all the time aren't that funny.

They want to make sure that you realize that they just said something that was supposed to be funny.

The joker is trying to see if you understand the joke. Get it?

They're trying to find out if you actually got the punch line, and if your reaction was positive then they know that you understood it.

It's a "PLAY" on words, it could be taken in two ways depending on your outlook, (get it) ?
