I do watch with subtitles for all those reasons above but that last one is important if you have watched a lot of subtitles in your life. Sometimes (and it's very rare) there are some freedoms taken by the people writing closed captions. Sometimes it is hilarious and especially if the director/writers of the show are involved. Seeing corrections for political correctness are another hilarity.
Absolutely! I watch Love Island with the subtitles on and seeing “[whining continues]” or “[incoherent] …God” or whatever will always be funny.
The new Naked Gun film has one joke only seen by those watching with subtitles on. It's pretty late in the movie, too.

When the owl flies away after helping Frank Drebin Jr., while the owl is cawing the subtitles say "[IN OWL] I'm proud of you, son."
