Two parodies of comedy writing

A lot of writers keep themselves up to date with current ways to make people laugh. In this Family Guy clip (0:00 - 1:20), we see the writers lampoon two styles of comedy writing. The common thread between the two appears to be (1) subtle mundaneness, and (2) extra support being necessary--the How I Met Your Mother jokes on TV would be accompanied by a laugh track that tells the audience what is supposed to be funny (and how funny, by the intensity of the laughter), and Brian's explains that you would have to know his aunt to find the joke funny.
