Yes, Lincoln liked, and occasionally told a bawdy joke. But almost without exception, there was a moral or lesson attached to them. Plus he didn't have someone leading him to come up with a joke, he didn't have a teleprompter, everyday citizens used to sleep on the WH floor overnight if they wanted to see him the next day, he didn't talk about how wonderful he was, and he had a Civil War (brought on by pro-slavery democrats) to contend with. Things were a bit different.
