2. Not sure I agree it is not a good thing in a debate--depends on the context...

Of course, it would go over much better if there were audience laughter as well, so from that POV, you might be right.

Take a page from Mel Brooks. He thought the best way to highlight fascists and racists was to just point and laugh. They proved him right every time.

Point and laugh.
