I am having a hard time figuring out this expression. I see it uses vocabulary
particular to お笑い, but I would appreciate if someone would specify which
meaning each word takes on in this instance, and how they work together. I am
sure a better translation could be made as well. Sorry for so many questions
in one!

Help with an expression that uses お笑い vocabulary
The most typical Japanese comedy style (漫才) consists of

  1. Someone saying/doing a silly thing (ぼけ) and
  2. Someone pointing that out (つっこみ). 

(Confer my answer to [this
question](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/3316).)

ぼけ is the joking part as seen in jokes in many countries, but one difference
form the commedy style often seen these days in Western countries is that the
ぼけ person himself/herself does not make it explicit that it is a joke. Rather,
they pretend that they are not aware of the funniness of what they are saying
or doing (In Western commedy, a counterpart will be something like Mr. Beans).
The ぼけ person makes jokes at certain points in the talk, where the つっこみ person
is expected/supposed to pause the talk and point out or explain to the
audience what the joke was. These points are `突っ込みどころ` "points where the 突っ込み
is supposed to be done". `満載` means "loaded full of". It is used here
metaphorically. Following Yadokari's suggestion, the English counterpart of
the person with the つっこみ-role will be "the straight man".

Syntactically, `満載` is the predicate predicated of its argument `突っ込みどころ`,
which is a compound noun consisting of `突っ込み` （verb stem used as a nominal）
and `ところ` "place" (which underwent sequential voicing (連濁) to become `どころ`).

Recently, this expression has evolved into meaning, outside of the commedy
context, that someone's talk or act is so silly or stupid that there are full
of points where one can point that out.
