You cannot take "a lot" out of my sentence because that's clearly a part of what I said.
"A lot" is a large collection of something.
You don't write "there are a large collection" you write "there is a large collection"
Breaking down my sentence I said "There is a lot of stupid Americans"
Meaning "There is a large collection of stupid Americans"
In the case of using "a lot" using "There is a lot." is correct, saying "There are a lot." to refer to a large collection is probably ok also but most likely in proper English sounds and looks wrong.
So picking out my grammar on this sentence is clearly wrong and also a failed attempt by you to look superior to everyone else, which you're not.
In other words "There is a lot to laugh at when it comes to Dyna Mo.".
