I don't get it - and it's gnawing at my brain because I hear that every now and again. You're gonna have to explain this now.
It's a simulation of cheezy stand-up comedy and lounge singer shows in night clubs. The acts are hired to keep the customers coming back and spending money.
The onomatopoeia refers to the drummer (more common on TV shows like David Letterman) who accents the punch line so people know it's time to laugh. The "I'm here all week" line is shameless self-promotion, and "try the chicken" is simply product advertising for the host lounge or restaurant.
