Huh... is there an association I'm missing? A TV character or something? Because I'm not sure what would make people laugh at it.

Laverne & Shirley
The character was an aspiring performer, I think, who was after Shirley. The show was a sitcom. (See my other post)

Well, trying to analyze why I myself laughed--in the US, it seems stereotypically Italian (Pete was of Italian descent) and sounds somewhat feminine. Mainly, I think to Americans it sounds over-the-top Italian. Like Salvatore, which was the middle name of my mother's first husband, who was also of Italian descent.
