The crowd goes silent long enough to hear the first pop-culture reference and again explodes as if on cue in a chorus of applause and guffaws.

You're describing British pantomime
<obligatory: Oh no he isn't!) |

Comedy already does this, essentially. A lot of it
involves
them taking our behavioral patters, which are memes,
and exposing said patterns with exaggerated
impressions, all
memetic themselves. |

Maybe a comedian could revolve his act around some
drab
sarcastic display of delicately interwoven memetic
entendre, as if not even noticing his prowess. That
might
be funny. It's probably called Stephen Wright. |
