Does your husband have the freedom to joke about controversial topics just to get a reaction?

My husband has the same sense of humour as my family (mainly my dad). So, I grew up with the same silly jokes and controversial statements to get a reaction. I understand it as a joke and 99% of the time, I will not get offended and will give it back. Sometimes, the jokes were made at the wrong time, and I would get upset, but deep down, I knew it was a joke. His family, on the other hand, will not appreciate the jokes, so he is quiet and serious when we’re with his family. I find it so weird to see him not himself around his own family. He is much more comfortable with mine 🤷🏻♀️.
I’m single but I voted the first answer cause when I AM in a relationship, I enjoy a playful dynamic. I love a man that can make me laugh and the the less PC the better, for me lol. I have a very dark and dry sense of humor. Countless people have told me they can never tell if I’m joking or serious lol. Which I guess could get me into trouble with the not so PC jokes but I know how to read a room and who/where I can and can’t joke about certain things, if that makes sense.
My rock; my cornerstone; my rational intellectual husband watched me pick up a bobby pin from our dining room floor as we cleaned up after dinner, and watched me rinse it in the kitchen sink. Being a germaphobe, he quickly told me that running it under water for 20 seconds wasn't going to do anything. I proceeded to dry it off and he exclaimed "Ew that's disgusting! Wash it with water or throw it in the trash!" I held up the tiny little pin so he could see it and said "do you really think -(I paused dramatically) that I am in danger if I put this in my hair?" He stood there for a sec, blinked a couple times and turned away smiling and shouted "Yes! -- but I don't care! My house my rules!" I put the pin down and said "you mean 'OUR' house??" "No!" he said smiling "my house!" He continues "it's my house, my money, and everything you see here including you is mine!" He continues to say that my V (yes - vag) is not even mine and the matter that it happens to be on my body, makes it "ours". He was dying😂
We definitely can joke about “controversial” things. Unfortunately, my husband likes to make jokes or use quotes from movies, shows, comedians that he knows I haven’t seen and have no frame of reference for. Therefore they aren’t funny to me. He thinks he is so funny and then proceeds to explain it to me like it’s something I should already understand. My best response has just been to walk away.
Yes everyone does around me I allow people In my life the space the do them in they way that they feel suits them best - to be and express themselves in a way that’s ultimately authentic for and to them
