It's not very funny when one has likely heard that exact line of reasoning, said in earnest, as to why they aren't wanted on a team.
Honestly, that's exactly the property that makes most jokes funny. Humor is our way of dealing with awkward, uncomfortable, and troubling details of our reality. A joke that has no basis in reality does not generally appeal to many people.
The one line printed in TFS isn't funny, but we're provided with no context so it may be the punchline to an actually funny joke.
