That's very surprising to me. I assume this was some kind of Indie/University theatre if it was showing old Lynch movies. I wouldn't expect THAT audience of all people to be so bad.

Also... yeah lol. Why would you ever watch FWWM as you INTRODUCTION to Lynch? I can fully imagine people unfamiliar with Lynch laughing at TP's more absurd aspects, but its still so weird to me that like, a cinephile crowd would be so immature.
