Unclear reply

In 4:32 of the following cartoon, the villain says "...The reality of your extinction is just a matter of time!" and the man replies "It's 8:00" I couldn't get why the man replies like that. Is there some humor about the dialogue? Could you tell me what it is? Thanks very much in advance!

Yes. Maybe that’s the only word he could make out from that distance. I think he was just absurdly dull-witted.
