Interpret this joke for me please

So an indirect way of saying: "Okay guys just to make it clear, no gays in our group, we agree?!" because it could hurt the rest of the group if someone in fact happened to be gay (leading girls to perhaps falsely believe all of them were gay)?

People seem to find two straight men being "accused" of homosexuality funny. This is the only part of the joke that is "social."
And as someone previously said, the repetition alone is funny. It is also funny because of the twist ending when the second guy doesn't even get more than "Well" in before the other guy calls him a "poof." Also, he stayed committed to talking in two different tones to represent the two hypothetical men which is kind of zany and therefore funny.

NO. You are overanalyzing this. Or perhaps, you are trying to analyze in a way that conforms to your preexisting theory. There was no group in the joke--only two guys. This is a long existing social joke. If you watch Sherlock, one of the jokes is that John and Sherlock are gay, but they are not. I guess it's funny simply because they are not gay but people think they are. I, personally, do not find this humorous.

The Aristocrats!

I don't find any of it funny.

How about the joke at 4:08-4:20 .... is it funny because he cares to think about money when having a miscarriage is so much worse than losing some money?

That and also at the start of the joke it sounds like a tragic natural miscarriage but it turns out he paid for a termination. You aren't expecting that punchline. Even though you are probably expecting some kind of dark joke relating to miscarriage.

People always laugh more when they are in a crowd too, so while this joke might just be midly funny when you watch it by yourself on youtube, you might find yourself laughing just as hard as the guy next to you when you're in a crowd.

That is true.

It is really scary how they all start attacking you if you choose to not comply.

I don't find it funny.

I reckon it was a trap. That he wasn't supposed to say anyone, because that would be gay (that's their opinion, anyway), and then in the end he starts to give in, because the other guy is so persistent. So he fails the test. I found the persistent thing a bit fun, or maybe it was the accent, not completely sure. A "conversation" like that could easily be annoying too, 'cause they're getting nowhere, and they ain't getting there fast either.

I find the laughing in sit-coms really annoying when I start paying close attention to it. They must either be forced to laugh or have the most terrible humor.

[X dropped something] Crowd: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don't do that. If I laugh about something it's a natural reaction that I don't do on purpose, like a sneeze. It's not something I control or do to please others.

There was a discussion about this a while ago I think in the parenting section where they were wondering why their kid didn't laugh because everyone else was laughing. I had heard about contagious yawning before but not about contagious laughing. It makes me uncomfortable when a bunch of people laugh and I don't know why. I don't yawn when other people yawn either.

He has to answer as the only way of shutting his mate up.

I laughed.

I find this comedian irritating rather than funny.

I'm with you guys, just irritating, not funny at all.
