clappy humor

A style of humor in which actual humor content is irrelevant. Instead, the comedian makes cutting, witty remarks about a person, idea or movement to which both he and his audience are largely opposed, and the audience does not actually laugh, but instead applauds his wit. Clappy humor is only there to make a political point and to be clapped at; it is not supposed to be "funny" or joke-based, as mere jokes and laughter would be considered frivolous by both comedian and audience.
The Daily Show used to be hilarious, but then they got started with all the clappy humor, and it just hasn't been the same.

Humofact

Humofact (noun) - describes what was said by someone to be not clear weather it was just humor or a fact. People often joke around about things that actually are true, but don't want to say straight forward. After a humofact other person, or group of them is left in unknowingness weather it was truth for a fact with a funny side to it, or was it just a joke that is not the truth at all.

-Oh well...

-So, Dexter, what do you enjoy doing on your free time?

-Michael, what is this ring, is this like a wedding ring?
