Great point John, we totally agree. We use the generic term "eye-candy".

Yes. And even static things can be eye candy...

Little jokes like the landspeeder parked at the info booth, and little more
somber tableax like the firemans funeral, or the pirate skeleton below the
lighthouse rocks are all crowd pleasers. Clubs that have done several shows
are MASTERs at this... GMLTC always has lots of little treats for the crowd
to find, and so does PNLTC.

I know clubs sometimes mentions it in their handouts. Has anyone tried
cataloging the total number of jokes and seeing if people can find them all?

A few months ago when a class of 5th graders visited my home, I created a
scavenger hunt of several things to look for in my home layout.  It removes
some of the impromptu "Oh, look at that", but certainly gave the kids a
sense of accomplishment as they checked things off their list.

Find well,
