Jokes can still be dumb and unfunny.

Most dumb things are unfunny.

Sometimes seemingly dumb things are funny because they make you think a little bit and realize that it seems weird to someone who doesn't understand the context. This one is actually clever because without knowing the context of cumulative effects would be confused by the tech hiding behind a safety shield while telling you it is safe. The humor requires seeing it from someone else's perspective and having the knowledge of why it seems contradictory.
