whom was the joke vs was the joke implied

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes. 'Whom was the joke' is grammatically incorrect and should be 'Who was the joke on?' or 'Who was the joke about?' to inquire about the target of a joke. On the other hand, 'Was the joke implied?' is a correct and commonly used phrase to ask if a joke was suggested or hinted at without being directly stated.
