i wonder if readers of this post could possibly watch this shorter than two minutes video, and provide their views on it.

I have watched it dozens of times and find it so funny - this is exactly what I find absolutely and totally funny.

i wonder if there is a particular word, and if so, what is that word/those words, that would describe the humour someone has, who finds this funny.

Pedantic perhaps, but this is SiT.

It's almost certainly not "canned laughter" but a laugh track recorded from the studio audience.

That sort of audience will laugh at anything. I didn't get it.

Learn to say 'Thank you' in the local language.
The natives like that.
