What am I missing here? Is the entire joke that the Troubadour is
playing "Feelings," which the king hates?

IMO...and I could be wrong...the joke is that the king lacks 'feelings'.
Which isn't the same thing as being a good joke, but it is a joke.

Obviously, the king has some feelings, just not any that are productive for
others.

I thought it was an extremely feeble pun: "feelings" vs. "feed him."

This hypothesis is similar to yours in that it isn't a good joke, but
it is something other than random ink.

My hypothesis is the King resents the Troubador for starting
halfway through the song instead of somewhere near the beginning.
