Because laughing is kind of contagious and some people might laugh with him when he initiates the laugh (especially for lame jokes).
By seeing a group laugh, another set of people might laugh.Simple tactic used by these comedians.

I didn't find it particularly funny but he does explain that it wasn't a premeditated joke, so he's hearing it for the first time too and he found it funny. I have myself said things that made me laugh and it sometimes comes out without thinking about it.

Some people here in the US do have your opinion, so I guess there is a strain of that around the world.

Have to say that I like it when it happens... it makes it more "real"...

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Good point. Maybe it's like the fake laughter we often hear on sitcoms that are meant to be signs for the audience watching that a joke has been told, so it's time to laugh ('The Big Bang Theory' comes to mind, because that show was painfully not funny).

@HijabaDabbaDoo The fourth wall? I don't know what that is, but I do know that I'm more inclined to laugh at something said by a stand-up comedian when they don't laugh, because what they've said is actually funny.

@HijabaDabbaDoo Exactly. Like when someone says "I crack myself up" same sort of concept. It's funny, they thought so too.
