There's some really obscure references in gintama, now maybe everyone in Japan is as well versed in old Japanese TV and cinema as Sorachi Hideaki? I think part of its appeal is it's esoteric references though.

As far as the puns go, I'll admit most fluent Japanese speakers understand them (I'm not fluent).

I can still think of at least a few people who will understand Gintama
