That's the joke, that he's describing sharing a packet of biscuits with another guy in total silence as a great battle Biting into it deliberately and slowly so the other guy can see him doing it "When I eat a biscuit, it stays eaten"

But that's not really the joke The joke that Arthur, or at least pre-aliens-destroying-Earth Arthur, would never do the latter because he's "too English" is half the joke
-
The OTHER half of the joke is that he could just as easily go "Okay this guy's a weirdo and I'm getting away from him" and just stand up and leave Or ignore him completely and let him have all the biscuits But he treats this as absolutely unacceptable as a matter of "principle"

And, y'know, even assuming that's the case... in what bugfuck world would the manners of that comedy fame would be disconnected from the idea of what it means to be a man, and, consequently, masculinity?

"this is just comedy of manners" = "alright, this joke is about masculinity, but I say it's not conscious enough to count"
