There's an old story in which someone tries to explain Einstein's theory of relativity by comparing having a pretty girl sit on your lap for 5 minutes with sitting on a hot radiator for 5 minutes.
Add to that trying to do comedy for 5 minutes while ignorant drunk dip*%^&s stand and shout conversation at each other right in front of the stage.
That was was inspired contestant Geoff Lott to make the above supplication to Peter "Dr. Who" Greyy, our resident Time Lord (note: he didn't "stop the time").
That group did eventually leave, but not before wrecking the atmosphere in the room; in fact, they were not the only offenders, and pockets of inappropriate behavior remained here and there.
Oddly enough, all this activity took place on only one side of the L-shaped room, and audience on the other barely knew it was going on.
Fortunately, the judges did their level best to call 'em as they saw 'em.
