In my DARE program, they would let us submit anonymous questions and every week a cop would read out "Would SpongeBob smoke weed?" and get mad.

He's saying he's recognizing the pattern of what is usually funny but his brain is currently not in a state to compute the funny.

Sleep deprivation is a common reason for that.

Yes, precisely. I still don't know what's the funny. Or is it really just -ha SpongeBob funny-?

The humor is derived from the silliness of making a government officer read such a juvenile question out loud. So in a way, yeah, haha SpongeBob, but more like "haha SpongeBob, police officer, anti drug program, and drugs"

Ok, that does do be a little bit funny
