Don't you hate it when somebody makes a joke and you don't laugh because!
Question: I'm joking!
Answers: I'm joking!
yes, I tell them "Wow there is nothing like a good joke, and that was nothing like a good joke"
I probably wouldn't care,,,I would still be laughing and thinking they were helpless for not getting the joke...
just smile for her effort delivering a joke!

It's etiquette.
Maybe they assumed you thought the joke was serious so they just reassured you and said 'I'm joking'.
I don't 'hate' it.
We all have different taste in our humour.
