There's a danger in making a joke problem too difficult - people may end up hating you as a composer. 🙂
As long as you know they are 'jokes' it should be OK.
This one (Leonid Kubbel again) is no joke, it's all legal.
White takes back his last move and instead plays a move that mates in one.
The beauty is in the orginal idea and the fact it only has one solution.
(a piece has been taken, but it's not just any old piece, it has to be that certain piece.)
