"Build to that" refers to a succession of remarks that are not particularly humorous or insulting that would gradually lead to the big insult (in this case, presumably that since he has dancer's hip, he lacks male genitalia). Think of the set-up to the punchline in a long joke. Marchall (I think) is saying that they are not very imaginative with their insults.
