> Do they not get to laugh if they choose GPL over the one with the comedy in?

The important thing is what happens if they pick the joke license. They get to ignore the GPL entirely, which is probably not what you want if you only intended to add something funny to your work.

If you just want to add funny license terms but keep the GPL terms, you have to modify the GPL license instead of having a dual license.
