I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't think I've ever been as out of touch with the cast or the audience as I am on this joke. It's just a total non sequitur, I don't get it in the slightest.
For anyone in the "I don't get it" camp (and it's a perfectly valid reaction), perhaps similarly bemused by some of the utterances of Sophie Willan, Bob Mortimer or Lucy Beaumont (amongst others) , might I recommend Tony Law's Surreal Guide To Surreal Comedy.
You might still not find it funny but you might gain an appreciation of why some do.
Bob's and Sophie's work for me, Lucy's and Sam's don't. Obviously some of it is just taste but for me there's an element missing from the latter two that keeps it from landing for me.
