Note
A regular past form: the silent e of joke simply takes -d, and one spelling serves as both simple past (she joked) and participle after have (she has joked). Because the everyday verb is intransitive, it usually takes about or a that-clause: joked about the weather, joked that it was over. Joking someone directly, and so a passive like was joked, belongs to an older, dated use meaning to make jokes upon.
