Complete apathy is always the worst reaction you can get from an audience. If you do well, then they'll remember you. If they laugh at you for whatever reason, they'll remember you. But if they don't react - if you don't make an impression - then you'll be forgotten. And as a performer, you don't want to fade into mediocrity.
Of course, if you hate being laughed at... :/

there's a silly scene where me, and my other fellow scientists got turned back in time, so instead of us 3 lying on the ground (WHICH I PROTESTED BECAUSE I AM A GIRL WEARING A SKIRT), my teacher ended up making us "turn" around the stage like a fucking tornado. like. a moon revolving around the earth. imagine that!!! (at first i was like, "why dont we just fucking do the T.A.R.D.I.S. scene like in doctor who??? you know, holding onto an imaginary table and shaking and stuffs")

I think it's good to be laughed at if you're doing a comedy routine. Otherwise, those would both probably send me crying off stage (not that I have stage fright or anything.)
I remember doing a comedy routine with a partner in front of a big crowd in middle school. My partner completely froze up and I had to do it all on my own. I think I handled it pretty well - I'd tell a joke, laugh really loudly then go "Didn't like that one either, buddy?" to my partner, roll my eyes, then tell another joke while thinking of some variation of that.

I'd take apathy over humiliation any day. The latter is traumatic, at least with the first you're closer to your goal (middle of the spectrum, one might say). I would rather be forgotten than to be remembered for something awful.

On a serious note, yeah, complete apathy is THE worst reaction one would get, but I can't say I'm completely comfortable with being laughed at/with either. Like, from time to time I say some stuff straight from my head and the whole class thinks it's funny even though I was being 100% serious or it was completely unintentional. Even though they're not laughing AT me, the thought of suddenly becoming in the spotlight gives me an unease.
@Gourd
lol I had a similar experience to you, except I'm kinda like your buddy. In the drama competition, I was a robot. Almost at the end of the performance, I forgot my line, but luckily I've managed to adlib a bit and said "pro-ce-ssing. pro-ce-ssing." before finally remembering my line xD (...the one main reason I've changed my role for a scientist than a robot is exactly because of doing the robot voices, they're TIRING and I think it'll make me forget my lines easier x_x But if I was robot, I didn't need to lie on the ground, that's why x_X)
But srsly, I think the only consolation from a reactive crowd is that they begin to talk with each other that they won't start paying any attention to us :>

There are going to be 4 performances before our group performs. I'll bet they (at least, the 'naughty' class anyways) would be already be sleep and sound on our performance. xD

If you could shake the idea that what other people think matters, life becomes much more enjoyable. But not everyone can do that.
I was exactly like this in high school. It made me not say anything at all. I was known as the quiet guy. Any time I had a joke or comment I'd whisper it to my friend and he'd say it out loud. He didn't give a shit and I avoided any unnecessary embarrassment. But I also missed out on the accolades of saying something funny or clever hah
I can't say exactly how I managed to get over that. Maybe after years of going over the regrets and missed opportunities in my head, I just snapped. I was sick of living in fear of something that can't be controlled or changed. Learning about the vast universe and quantum theory may have played a part. A variation on the idea that we are so insignificant in the grand scheme of things that nothing we do matters, so why do anything?
In the grand scheme of things, why care about what others think? They will most likely forget about it in a few days/weeks anyway.
