This sort of gender stereotyping is really bad. Whenever you put people in these sorts of gender boxes, it only serves one purpose - control. Of course, it serves this purpose only because it is completely false and is made up. In this video, they were simply making fun of women. What is interesting is that the guy said basically that men are simplistic and stupid, while women make connections between events; you would expect that the last one should be a better thing - but no, it is actually not, because they see that a woman is all these things not because she's better, but because she is doing some things that she shouldn't be doing, and she seems to accept the notion that she "is supposed" to be doing these things, she is not rebelling and consequently she's allowing to be exploited. I think they are making fun of the fact that it's so easy to take advantage of women. What this alludes to is the fact that in our dear patriarchy, women have to juggle a lot of responsibilities and duties to make things work, while men can simply enjoy themselves, focus on their career and fun and still accomplish all the things that women have. This is of course just a framework of gender relations and it doesn't necessarily have to apply exactly this way to every single case, but this general pattern in one form or another can be seen pretty much everywhere.

In fact, I'd add a note about what I really thought about the show but later preferred to post it without comment. Besides being offended by the show, I don't know exactly why but to be frank it made me laugh even if I was made fun of as a woman maybe just the way he stereotyped was funny, otherwise all the things he said are the very known stereotypes like that "men are simple", "men are easy to be understoodd", "men do not think much", "men do not care much", "men forget easily"...
What I do not understand is these are seen as superior characteristics that men usually boast about while indeed they are not. As you said whenever a humour is done about the differences between man and woman, although they seem to make fun of men as well, infact always it is the woman who's being degraded and made fun of in the real sense. When the man told that "men just did not care that is why they do not remember", it's something negative, but somehow it has become something men boast about.
