It isn’t that it isn’t funny, You’re just not the target for the joke so you don’t get it. “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” has been a meme in Star Trek fandom since I’ve been going to Creations Con in the 90s when the show has been on the air, it sounds weird to say and it is often repeated, the joke is that the Enterprise would explode if said the other way and it makes total sense to me and probably millions of trekkies.
just because you didn’t think a joke was funny doesn’t mean it wasn’t a joke. Is this your first time encountering somewhat but not really funny jokes? This whole thread is absolutely bonkers to me.

I’ve seen every episode countless times. My reaction to this was “huh?”
Jokes need to make sense in context, or else they’re just nonsensical. That is how humor works. This does not work.
I’m sure OP has plenty of other good ones, but this one didn’t land. Just like the Enterprise!
It’s okay to not find a joke funny, but jokes also don’t have to make sense. Sometimes the nonsense or silliness of it is what makes it funny.
