Interviews are also (if not primarily) a measure of cultural fit. Making tasteful jokes is absolutely appropriate, but depends on the culture. I wouldn't want to work at a place that is too uptight for some humor.

The UDP joke isn't one that I'd probably use, but doesn't feel out of place in the context of detailing the protocol.
