From the author of Mayflies, an irresistible, unputdownable, state-of-the-nation novel - the story of one man's epic fall from grace.

I'm glad that he is not abhorrently sexist, but you can tell that he's an old fart who is absolutely clueless how people spoke in 2017 and what people joked about in 2017.
He is constructing a caricature of a character in Roddy Ho and making cruel fun of him for being absolutely clueless, but he is Roddy Ho himself.
