You can't act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don't see. If you're being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.
In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It's as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.
