Part of me wonders whether Wright put in the cheap laugh as a nice way to end that particular scene by displaying the shallowness of the real audience (us) as opposed to the canned audience we hard on stage. In the end, "we" don't "want" to hear Charlotte's story of the neo-Nazi attack on her garden party. "We" "want" to hear funny pop culture references. I'm not sure if that was the aim. Just a guess.
