I love these sketches because they complete invert the standard joke structure. The comedy is all in the set up, while the punchline is absolutely given and predictable from the beginning.

I think it rather mocks the bad-quality, bad taste oldtimer comedy which is more familiar to British viewers maybe? So the ultra-predictable, vulgar punchline is satire itself, it's made as awkward and benny-hill-like as possible.

You have to admire Hennimore's amazing talent to hide his malice behind a mask of incompetence. I mean, when repeatedly presented with two apparently indistinguishable alternatives, he manages to consistently pick the one that is bad for his boss. Not 50% of the time, but 100% of the time. Obviously he knows which is which, and is picking the bad one on purpose!
