That wasn't a cutaway. It was a TV show parody. And I wouldn't say that it was weirder than unicycle riding Adolph Hitler or the scene in which Connie DiMicco and her friend joke that Chris smells like Fred Flintstone's ass, and then they suddenly cut to a close-up of Fred who says "Hey! No one's forcing you to smell it!", although I must admit to laughing at the latter.
