You can use any word with both good and bad meanings (i.e. bad). But in context only a person that is bringing baggage to the event would see it as other than what it was. Also you never said what you think of laugh tracks?

p.s. I am not saying you can't not find it funny, just taken aback by your issue with his usage and how according to your post history you should be a bit more open to his words.
