It just seems weird as there are tags like...

Example
This tag:gligar-makes-crappy-puns

Is it just for a bit of humour?Is it OK as long as they don't go overboard?

They're not allowed. It's just that among so many other things, tags aren't the first thing we're looking at to catch. Leave a comment saying the tag should be changed and flag the post if you see joke tags.

Then why do people do it?
they probably don't see it as a big deal.
I, along with the experts (and Ayan), usually are the ones to change tags (it's a small, trivial matter. I like to leave more important stuff to Mods rather than silly stuff like tags). Your tag is used as an example, so it's an exception, but I would have changed it if it wasn't. I actually do look at tags on meta most of the time. Luckily, it's normally more experienced users with some sensibility that posts on meta, so i don't have to do much work to do. Same can't be said for Pokebase.

To follow up on what DT said, if a tag is inappropriate, comment and we'll get it changed. If it's just silly or unnecessary, then just ignore it, and someone will come to it eventually.
