Some things just don't translate well or the way we think it should sound.

If somebody tells you a good joke then you say LA BOTASTE or TE LA BOTASTE
If you hear a joke then you say SE LA BOTO

Been living here since '97 and have never heard that phrase.

I just say "that's funny". Say it enough and they'll get it...some will even start using it (the phrase). lol

You just say: Esta bueno ese...(referring to the joke) Que chistoso will be lame too, or you can also say in a more informal manner: tu te corres.

La botaste is very common among dominicans. But not only with funny phrases but also if you say or do something that is out of this world.
