So did my audience, I was confused because I felt it was a serious moment...
I laughed as well. It wasn't because it was a bad moment though. It was more an "Oh ****!" moment, and everyone laughed at it, in an appropriate way.
It was much more "holy ****" laughter, than "that was stupid" laughter. There was zero "that was stupid" laughter both times I've seen it.
It's a very serious moment, and abrupt, and THAT'S why people laughed. Like when people laugh at a magic trick where nothing funny happened, it's just the involuntary response to the shock and awe they are experiencing in that moment.
I guess, being a magician, and being VERY familiar with this kind of reaction, the audience's responses felt perfectly appropriate and natural in the moment.
