On reddit there was r/comedyhomicide for these cases where someone felt the need to tack on a random reaction to something funny. As if the viewer needs to be guided to what their reaction should be. It always reminded me of a laugh track.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road

Fire! Fire! Help me! 123 Cavendon Road. Looking forward to hearing from you.
