To hiss at someone in a theater is to communicate dissaproval from the audience to the communicator/actor/performer on stage. Older crowds would recognize and the humor of the the scene was much more relavent 38 years ago.

I've always assumed that the hissing was the audience's way of letting Frederick know that they didn't like him (because of what his ancestors had done) and wanted him to get off the stage. Also, I took the "scientits' "theory" as a joke (though it WOULD be pretty funny if Freddy really HAD almost called his colleagues "scientits"!).
