100% scripted. They think this is "funny" in the sense that it elicits "clapter" not laughter. You laugh and clap along b/c you agree with the underlying sentiment not because it actually made you laugh.
It's the formula for all late-night and award shows these days. It has infected stages across America too. I can tell you here in Chicago, The Second City Theater, iO, and the Annoyance are all infected with this type of "comedy".
