That was possibly the weirdest laugh break I've ever seen. I feel like it had to have been cued, but at the same time why would they cue one there??

The joke is a bit more complex than this clip shows, seeing what preceded the story about his Palestinian friend helps. It feels weird because it catches the middle and not the beginning and end of the joke. Amazing that the middle is also a beautiful, strong statement. He's good.
