I'd never heard the joke before, and even if it's an oldie, it's perfectly serviceable - but it's also only about 6% of this video. Don't show us people getting dressed for 2 minutes. If you have a scene in a restaurant, don't show people ordering, and the food arriving. Don't have a scene in a restauarant at all, if it's only relevant to a mystifyingly pointless sub-plot. Don't have a mystifyingly pointless sub-plot. Don't have a sub-plot.
I'm being a bit harsh, because the central joke isn't bad, but everything else is either dull or, worse, confusing, which means that only serial critics/masochists like us on here will ever watch it. If you want to know what I'm getting at, look at this joke:
-My dog's got no nose.
-How does it smell?
-Well...
-Wait, wait, tell me, where did you get this dog?
-I got it from my aunt Tabitha.
-Oh, how is your aunt Tabitha?
-She's fine. I'll tell you about her whilst I'm having my haircut, if you like.
-Sure, I'll come along. Just let me put a hat on

-Well, we're married now.
-Yes. Though I've gone off you, because you painted the kitchen badly.
-I thought I did a good job.
-Well, you didn't. You are a terrible painter of kitchens. Also, that dog you bought that had no nose? I'll tell you how it smelt: awful!
