Is something still an in-joke if it's still funny to a casual observer, or is there another name for that? I've always thought of an in-joke as something mundane that has a special private comical meaning, but I notice a lot of times people claim something that is actually amusing is an in-joke because there is a shade or a layer to it that is private that they share with someone else.
