That is what's funny about it. It's nonsensical and stupid to the point of being funny. Each muffin gets more and more outrageous. This was made to be bad on purpose. The long uncomfortable shots and overlapping turns to the camera are intentional to make it look like a 10 year old put it together. That's all part of the gag.

And the character himself is absurd and outrageous. He starts out appearing to just be an awkward "housewife" with muffin making skills and turns out to be a twisted, psychopathic, muffin-obsessed freak.

Anyway, as Gn2Dlnd stated, comedy is very subjective.
