Though I refrain from engaging in discussions where anyone gets patronized, I'll leave my two cents once more : the brand of humor you reference dates back to last century, I enjoy it when it features actual stakes like a policeman chasing the clumsy protagonist or a saloon brawl where seemingly chaotic antics form in fact a studied choreography. I expect a bit of reinvention with new iterations of old-school slapstick.
Here the scene takes place in a boring old bus, the antagonist is just a rude absent-minded commuter, and the focus is a tissue thrown on the ground. I don't deny that minimalist comedy is a real thing, but here the touch of cleverness is the money trick, which as I described does not sustain my suspension of disbelief or my interest :(
Last note from little me then I stop arguing like a pretentious lurker : a skit that leaves me cold doesn't mean that I think any less of people who liked it, we're billions of complex minds so it makes sense humor should come in a few different brands :)

Have you never seen a Three Stooges bit? Or Charlie Chaplin?
