“You can't just take something, put it in a different context and expect it to be funny”

Simplified Meaning:
When you try to make something funny by changing where or when it happens, it doesn't automatically work. Imagine telling a joke at a party that everyone laughs at. But if you tell the same joke at a serious meeting at work, it might not make anyone laugh. The joke hasn't changed, but the place and time have, and that affects how people react. Humor depends a lot on the situation and the people involved. If you're trying to make someone laugh, you need to think about whether the context is right, like if everyone is in the mood for a joke and if it's the right moment. So, before trying to be funny, consider if the timing and place are suitable for the humor.
