To waddle means to walk from one side to another, much like a crab would do. In this video, one of the comedians of Saturday Night Live comes in dressed up (déguisé) as Santa Claus (père noël) but can't help showing off his wrestling character "the Waddler" (a synonym for someone who walks like a crab). He tries to impress John Cena and to get him to fight. But John cena is not in for it (n'est pas interessé) and congratulates the comedian for coming up with the idea of a crab-walking wrestling character.
Contrary to French "la comédie", Comedy in English means fun acting. A comedian is an actor that does stand up and makes people laugh (rire). Famous French comedians are Kev Adams, Gad Elmaleh. Famous US comedians are Jerry Seinfeild, Kate Mckinnon and Chris Rock. Check out our post on US Comedy shows to learn more about US late night show and comedians.
A turf is a territory. When someone says they'll defend their turf, they probably mean they will fight to protect what they've conquered. In this Saturday Night Live episod, one of the cast members, Leslie Jones tells Cena he shouldn't be on her territory. John Cena then asks for the name of her wrestling character. She proudly (fièrement) answers she doesn't need any, thereby implying that the mere fact of (le seul fait de) being Leslie Jones stands for itself (se suffit à lui-même).
 
If you are a video game lover, if you're passionate about video games, you probably already know what the verb "to taunt" means.

It means to tease, to intentionally annoy or try to attract someone's attention by provoking or challenging that person to a reaction.

In the famous MMO RPG Game World of Warcraft, players endorse/have/play different roles. Some players focus on healing other players, while others focus on inflicting damages to a world boss. Another category of players will prefer tanking the boss, meaning they will attract the boss's attention to them and distract the boss from inflicting too many damages to other players. 

To distract the boss, tanks usually taunt bosses, meaning they will try to make the boss focus on attacking the tank by provoking the boss constantly so that the boss doesn't have time to realize he is attacked by other lesser equipped players.

While the tank taunts/provokes/teases the boss, other players will inflict as much damages as they can. To tank the boss, the player who accepts to endorse the tank role will need a very strong gear to be able to endure a lot of damages, the goal being that the boss doesn't hit other player with a lesser gear.
