ウケる
Ukeru literally means to receive, but in slang it means "that is hilarious" said about something you just heard, or "goes over well" said about material and an audience. Colloquial and young-sounding, so it does not belong in formal writing.
Examples in context
それ、めっちゃウケるんだけど。
That is seriously hilarious.
彼のネタは若い世代にウケる。
His material goes over well with younger audiences.
