--- Comment #4 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
since humour does not always translate - even between en_GB and en_US in some
cases...

I wonder if the better solution in the case of something that is clearly
intended to be humour (which is subjective as per the comments here) is to
leave the text in the original language (perhaps with surrounding quotation
marks correct for the target language).

That way if the (end user) reading the diagnostic can understand the original
language the joke should stand.  It seems a bit unreasonable to expect
translators to find an equivalent joke in the target language (transliteration
is not likely to work in most cases).
