LIke it depends on the person doing it. Someone that the audience didn't deem to be funny, or funny in a certain way, won't get a laugh. For example (I'm not just picking on East Side Dave, who happens to be a fine, upstanding member of society. Although, he is one of the 'Descendants of Atlantis'):
During the first softball game of last year (Amityville, NY), an ice cream truck drove by the field. East Side ran madly across the outfield yelling " ICE CREAM, ICE CREAM." Everybody laughed at Dave and his funny-ass bit, myself included. It was funny. Now, if I, blakjeezis, had run across the field in the same manner, no one would have laughed. They would have called me an idiot and thrown me off the field.
There was another example, but I forgot it. That being said, this example does illustrate my point quite well. I'm a failr y funny guy, people here and people in real life have told me so; Even if I had done exactly what East Side did, right down to the movement of my arms and inflection of my voice, no one would have laughed. When East Side did it, everyone fell out like it was the funniest thing ever. In comparison, although exactly the same besides the performer, one gets a different audience reaction. One can only assume this is because of the audience's expectations about the performer's material.

If I were any better, I'd have to be twins!!
