I guess you don't understand irony...I am a bit shocked that anyone finds references to strikers being executed and truckers murdering prostitutes amusing (I presume that is the case if it is thought they are made for comedic effect?).

Do you really, seriously think that Clarkson was calling for all striking public sector workers to be shot?! If the authorities thought that then surely he would have faced charges just as Abu Hamza did for incitement to murder.
AFAICT, the "murder a prostitute" thing was filmed when Peter Sutcliffe was in the news. It nearly had me choking on my coffee before laughing at the irony. Do you really, seriously think that Clarkson claimed all truckers go around murdering prostitutes?!
Both were irony for comedic effect (albeit black comedy).
