The joke is because German concatenates words instead of using prepositions, which means that this:

Hottentottenstottertrottelmutterbeutelrattenlattengitterkastenattentäter

Is a perfectly valid German word which means the “would be murderer of the Hottentot mother of the good for nothing stutter kid who was placed on the opossum cage”.
