Yes, but we make them differently.
Example: "One of the cows didn’t produce milk today. It was an udder failure."
↑ udder と utter（「全くの」）をかけています。アメリカ人やオーストラリア人ならどちらも同じ発音をします。
但し、かかっている単語が両方文に登場するパターンは中々ないです。
英語圏のユーモアは、一歩先の事を考えて頭の中で繋ぎ合わせて面白さに気づく楽しみ方が基本です。
ダジャレじゃない例を一つあげると、
「先日ね、妹に口紅を渡すよう頼まれて、誤ってノリを渡してしまったんだけど、あれから全っ然口をきいてくれないんだよね。」
