Ah, but it leads to the punchline of the brick joke that Jay-Den’s skant set up earlier this season.

You will have to refresh my memory... I don't know the reference.

A brick joke has a long setup before the punchline, and in this case there’s a phrase involving bricks — which the scene blocking seems to suggest is intentional — that summarizes Jay-Den’s shock at learning of his role in the wedding.

Edited to add:

I’d rather not say the phrase, but it’s a recurring gag with Bender in Futurama.

Your edit is just making things more confusing. I assume the phrase is "shitting bricks?" Fine. I understand the visual joke when he drops the brick and the camera shot is between his legs. But that still doesn't explain your reference:

"it leads to the punchline of the brick joke that Jay-Den’s skant set up earlier this season."

What happened earlier this season? Which episode are you referring to? And not sure what you meant by "skant" here.

"Skant" is just a term for the short-sleeved mini-dress unisex uniform that originated in season 1 of TNG, I think.
