Halbarad's reaction is pure mirth that Gothmog does not realise that by the sacrifice of Golodir, he has already been beaten - although that's why it sucks so much when Gothmog still manages to cause a bit more harm before he flees. That said, Halbarad doesn't really seem to be the sort to let his guard down in such a way.
It also downplays the dramatic power of the encounter of the two kings.
