He narrated a hilarious joke to an assembly. They broke into laughter, reveling in the novelty of it.

He repeated the joke after 5 minutes. They smiled indulgently.

He repeated the joke after 10 minutes. Their lips curved up, their eyebrows slashed down.

He repeated the joke after 15 minutes. There was impatient shuffle.

He repeated the joke after 20 minutes. There was stony silence.
