How you pronounce Uranus depends on the country you live in. It SHOULD be pronounced the same way that you pronounce uranium, which is named after the planet. Jerks who call it your-AH-nuss to avoid embarrassment (pun intended) need to grow up and learn to ignore the titters.

Scientists have confirmed that Uranus’ atmosphere contains hydrogen sulfide.
So yes the jokes are appropriate.
