The classic line about this is: "...if there's one thing I like it's, uh, audience participation"

Zappa's whole project is about activating the audience in some way, engaging the audience. He even talks in an early interview (original Mothers of course) about bringing out audience hostility on purpose, hoping to then 'polarize' that feeling. It's really quite brilliant. So, Zappa is using ironic understatement there, as so often.
