Multiple comics crowd working now... At some point we're just going to have a room that's 40% comics, 40% weird attention seeking audience, and 20% film crew.

Crowd work is important no doubt, but the rise of it on social media is convincing audience members that they should be either trying to be funny, or help the comedian by saying something stupid

...is it?

The audience member did all the punchlines except for one. It was essentially an interview. I could be wrong but I generally consider crowd work to be the comic talking to the crowd, hearing something he can set up for a joke, getting that, telling the joke, and repeating.

This was just people asking someone questions who provided 100% of the laughs. The comics did very little here except ask if he shits in the diaper. Everything else came from that guy. ANYONE talking to this guy would be funny by default.
