Not exactly laughed at him, but during the interview with Joe Bob, when Joe Bob says something about making movies, exactly at the LA is dead, it zoomed in on James face, and you can see that James heart broke, it has a face like "But I went and shoot my movie in LA"
Specially, Joe Bob made a special message to moviemakers.
I think after that Joe Bob interview, James gave up on effort in making AVGN. Because back before the Joe Bob interview, his Screenwave AVGN episodes, while not stellar or like the past ones are still ok, and have some effort in them.
