Ah yes, the "humor" of repeating an obscure antisemitic conspiracy theory. It's "funny" because it's obscure enough that the majority of the audience will assume it to be innocent, and liable to jump to the the speaker's defense against the apparent "crazies" who take offense. Like a silent fart, the "joke" is on the audience, and a smile merely indicates that the author is amused.
