Beautiful! I kept up the whole time and got the joke!

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'm being fully honest in my question. I kept up with what was being said, but I'm 99% sure that I'm missing the joke. I know it's a faux pas, but can you explain the punchline to me?

I'm guessing it has something to do with the ruling class being shittier than the average person, but I feel like I'm missing something.
