That doesn't stop it from being amusing, although it matters in a joke that you use premises the audience is already familiar with even if they don't believe them because otherwise it seems contrived e.g. if you make up your own language with the intention of making puns using it vs making puns using existing languages. If you think about it the entire narutoverse isn't even real in the first place so jokes about situations that happen in it are always false but that's not what matters in a joke.
