What are unnecessary jokes? Are there such things as necessary jokes? Have you ever been in a situation where you need a joke? What happened if you didn't get it?
I think they mean unnecessary in relation to the content of the video. They could also be talking about bad jokes in general.
Bad jokes makes sense. Obviously if a youtuber is telling unfunny jokes you wouldn’t want to watch them.
I don’t really understand unnecessary in relation to the content though, like all jokes are unnecessary, maybe off topic is better?
I feel like a lot of content creators have in jokes though that their normal audience would get that a new person would find random.
