Donna didn't seem to care Jackie said that (she had to be used to Jackie talking that way by then). She was more upset about Eric's actions in that conversation. Truly, though, I think Donna would've told Jackie not to call Mr. Bonkers that -- if the scene had the time for it. Since it's TV, every second counts. So that bit of characterization wasn't deemed important enough by the writers to take up precious time with.

I understand that. Donna was more upset with Eric about what he did and would tell Jackie not to call her cat that.

That was a relatively minor out-of-character moment by omission -- probably also due to the "laugh" Jackie's line about the cat was intended to get. That's one problem with TV vs books. TV shows often put other considerations over character and story, specially shows taped in front of a live studio audienc.
If Jackie and Donna became aware of the laughter from the audience, they would freak out. __________________

They would run around screaming.

They'd have no idea where that laughter is coming from. Maybe they'd think they'd had a particularly heavy circle and couldn't remember having it. But then Jackie and Donna would think the other person was an hallucination.

They would think that and it wouldn't be too funny after a while.

Jackie and Donna might attempt to leave town to get away from the laughter. It truly would be a horror movie for them. Or a Twilight Zone episode.

I think more of a Twilight Zone episode to them.

Maybe a little both happy and sad. Jackie wouldn't know what to think about it at first and then like it at least I think she would.

Jackie searched for external validation at times, despite her self-confidence. I think the unseen applause might become part of a strange pathology for her. Any psychiatrist she'd see would think she was experiencing delusions, maybe even after Donna corroborated her story.
Then the psychiatrist hears the audience laugh at the situation, and he thinks he's part of a collective delusion. __________________

That would be interesting for Jackie and Donna, but would they involve other people?

Donna would tell Eric, who would wonder why no one's applauding him or laughing at his antics. Jackie might keep her experience to herself until her and Donna's friends learn about it from Eric.
Kelso would do crazy things to get applause and laughter, but he never hears any. That would drive him to do even crazier things until Red and Kitty get him into the psych ward for his and other people's protection. __________________

That would be interesting to see what would happen if Jackie and Donna were to tell the others.

If they told Kitty, I think she'd love it for a while until she didn't -- and Red would hate it. He'd threaten to put a foot up every one of those applauding and laughing people's asses, and the audience would laugh. Red, you can't win. This is truly your Twilight Zone.
