He's like a funky hybrid of Billy Bragg, Momus, and Christopher Morris, who sometimes claims to be the antichrist.
Performing a song about metaphorical blowjobs, on a children's show.

Brooker said he'd wanted to use the song for the Screenwipe theme.

If I were on LSD, would more of this come clear?

Doubtful, being smarter only helps if what you're trying to understand is a rational system to begin with.

He also puts out press releases:
He developed the "Continuous Ca$h Flow System" while incarcerated in a federal facility in Maryland, serving out a sentence for mail fraud. In his solitude he was struck by two things: firstly, that his illegal difficulties were due to his focus on earning rather than spending as much money as possible, and more importantly, that he was likely to be the Anti-Christ. Bobby now knew that time was short, the coming Armageddon would destroy humanity at century's end, so he had to reach people quickly. A natural performer and gifted musician in the popular tradition, he structured his "Continuous Ca$h Flow System"[...]Bobby knows that creating a financial vacuum inside oneself is the best way to fill a spiritual void, and he demonstrates this regularly by distributing thousands of dollars in the form of $20 bills to every audience member. But with his gift comes a desire. A desire to spend. And spend. And spend yet more, creating a glorious Debt that promises, if not salvation, a thrilling high-paced life-style. And when the collective Debt of our generation grows large enough, the entire Pig System of Oppression will be snuffed out like a candle in a hurricane.

(or rather, a response to a rational system)
