Meaning of 名前が名前だし, 受けでも狙え and ツッコミ


> 名前は南空ナオミ。元FBI捜査官だそうです。 **名前が名前だし** 両親が日本にいるのだから日本人なのでしょう。

南空ナオミ is the name of a Japanese detective in death note. I think the author is
saying that because of her name and both her parents being in Japan, it
appears that she's Japanese (I think し can be used as a "because")

それが無理ならせめて「ワターシ、ニッポンゴシャベレマセーン」と日本語そのままで喋って
**視聴者とリュークの受けでも狙え。狙ってどうするというツッコミは聞こえません。**

The author is complaining that the detective Ray Penbar should have done
something to revert the situation he was in to not get killed by kira. Then he
says that if that's not possible for Ray to do, he could've make it look like
he doesn't speak Japanese (because he is American) and the rest I can't
understand. Why is he including the audience and Ryuk, and what does ツッコミ
mean?




Aside from [this usage](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/60465/5010), `X +
が/も + X + だから/なので/etc` is a way to remind X as a reason for something. It
roughly means "(as you know,) because of the (unusual) X". Examples:

  * 時間も時間なので、今日は帰りましょう。
  * 値段が値段ですし、たくさんは売れないと思います。
  * 私は性格が性格なもので、よく人と言い争いになることがあります。

* * *

Your second question is harder to explain, but it's basically a kind of joke
called セルフツッコミ, a _tsukkomi_ made against one's own _boke_. If you don't know
_boke_ and _tsukkomi_ , please learn them first elsewhere, for example
[this](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine) and
[this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/17870/5010).

So, in this paragraph, this blog author has been making fun of how useless
Pembar was (Pembar could do almot nothing before he was killed). Then he made
a _boke_ sentence, "Penbar at least should have made Ryuk and the audience
laugh by saying 'Watashi nippongo shaberemaseen'!" This may not seem funny to
you (it's actually not particularly funny to me, either), but this is intended
to be a silly statement, or a _boke_. Here, ワタシニホンゴワカリマセーン itself is
recognized as a classic and cheesy Japanese _boke_ said to get a laugh (google
it if you're interested).

Then 狙ってどうする followed, which roughly means "What's the point of trying to do
so (i.e., trying to make them laugh)?", and it's working as a self- _tsukkomi_
, the act of correcting his own silly joke and getting another laugh.
～というツッコミは聞こえません ("I don't (want to) hear such a _tsukkomi_ like ～") is a bit
redundant, but basically he is pretending he said the previous sentence
seriously. (Maybe it's like "no _boke_ intended, just like how English
speakers say "no pun intended" when a pun is intended.)
