That doesn’t grammatically work though.
Wrong verb tense on cost.
Better opening line:
Do you know what the cost of a chimney is?
A chimney’s cost ‘is through the roof’.
A chimney does not cost ‘through the roof’.

Only if your enjoyment of a thing is substantially rooted in the degree to which others enjoy a thing.
Or I guess also if you do not find analysis of why a thing is or is not enjoyable or funny to be enjoyable itself.

I feel like it still works colloquially though. E.g., “Do you have any idea how much Netflix costs these days? It’s through the roof!” sounds totally normal to my ears

Eh, to each their own, I’m not gonna tell you what you can and can’t find funny, but I appreciate matching verb tenses in my puns and jokes…
…unless of course the joke revolves around pointing out a quirk of what happens when you try to do that in some odd context, where the point is the inconguity.
To me this just reads as a flubbed delivery.
