... that the Armenian Radio jokes are neither about radio nor are they Armenian?
What the article actually says is "They are not really related to Armenian culture, nor do they have much in common with radio specifically." This uses the weasels "not really" and "much" and so this is not a definite fact as required by WP:DYKHOOK. Having read the article, the hook might equally be turned about and presented in the opposite way:
... that Radio Yerevan jokes are presented in the style of provincial radio and Armenian stereotypes are often the butt of the joke?
Note also that the title of the article is plural contrary to WP:PLURAL. See Joke, Ethnic joke, Hindu joke, Polish joke, riddle joke, etc.

This last genre [Armenian Radio joke] may be confusing for an outsider. These jokes have nothing to do with radio, which in Soviet times was as severely censored as any other means of mass communication. They are also not really Armenian.
... that although it was never built, Lynn Conway notes that IBM's ACS-1 would have been the premier supercomputer of the era?
"Would have been" is a counter-factual weasel and so this is not a definite fact as required by WP:DYKHOOK. Conway was part of the project and so is not independent. And it's easy to make grandiose claims for projects that were not completed. And what does "premier supercomputer of the era" actually mean? An era suggests a long period but computer technology has advanced rapidly per Moore's law which has a doubling every two years. Even if it had been completed, it would soon have been overtaken by newer models. Andrew🐉(talk) 07:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
... that while filming the Doctor Who episode "Boom" some takes lasted up to seven minutes?
This phrasing implies that the takes in question were filming an episode of Doctor Who. It could be rewritten to ... that in the filming of the Doctor Who episode "Boom"…
or… that during the filming of the Doctor Who episode "Boom"…
