Sounds funny in English, doesn't it?
I'm quite sure he said in German "Das wäre ein Witz."
Witz = joke
A little bit like the English use of "ridiculous". "He was in ridiculous form this week." Meaning "in great form", but not anything to actually laugh about.
"Das wäre ein Witz" means that it would be incredible, absolutely "insane"!
