This cartoon, is hilarious, but you don't just need to understand Japanese to find this funny. There are a lot of aspect of Japanese culture that must be understood (formal vs. rude way of speaking, the role of the Japanese wife, use of broken english in songs...). Its just a lot funnier in Japanese than in English.
