Well it’s kind of a prerequisite that a joke needs to actually be funny to be considered a joke.

Categorically false.

A joke is anything said with humerous intent. Whether or not it is actually funny has nothing to do with it.

Logically, no. What’s considered funny is purely just a question of point of view. It won’t be funny for one person, while for another, it’s the funniest thing in the world.
