How does it make a punchline in this joke? Is there a second meaning of “pants” ?
——What would you say if a man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him? What would you say?
—— He must have had on some really nice pants.

In American English pants means trousers. This is what is meant in the joke.
The British English version would be:
——What would you say if a man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him?
—— He must have had some really nice trousers on .

呵呵 在我看来这个笑话并不是特别好笑,这里面pants就是裤子的意思,没有别的含义。意思就是,被雇佣的人没有穿衬衫,所以他穿的裤子肯定特别好看,这样才能够让老板忽略或者是原谅他没有穿衬衫这件事情。一般情况下一个人没有穿衬衫被看为一种非常不专业的表现,所以把一个不穿衬衫的人雇佣需要有一个比较特许的原因,在此笑话里面第二个人开玩笑说原因应该就是裤子特别好看。实际上这并不是一个好原因,这就是笑话的笑点所在。
不是很好解释的,呵呵,希望你能够看懂~
