https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claque
A claque is an organized body of professional applauders in French theatres and opera houses. Members of a claque are called claqueurs.

None of them ever exploded or I would have taken some interest.

A severely bruised forearm was the price to pay for the joy and satisfaction of getting like 20 clacks in a row... like a masochistic paddle-ball.
I remember them being called kerbonkers.
