There's always a fine line between 'repeat while funny' and 'repeat until funny'. The former being one of the finest humourous devices, the latter an increasing irritation. Very fine line indeed.
As to the original question - a witty riposte or continuation is indeed ideal, but I think a grin, a nod, even a hand raised in thanks is easily enough for 'yup, got that, cheers'.
PS still haven't seen Clones. Hurray! That sand line is dreadful. Might have worked in Dune though... Sand Worm to Paul maybe?
