You think he's being completely sincere do you?
The joke isn't about graham norton, it's about an entitled fat middle aged man being a twat. He's playing a character. Comedy characters tend not to be well rounded likable people because those sorts of people aren't very funny. Do you watch peep show and think "That jeremy must be a nightmare to live with. Why do people watch this tripe?"

Jokes that need this much explanation typically aren't that funny.
Unless the purpose is to prove how the audience isn't as learned/hip/cool/informed as he is.

So he's playing a sit-com character as a standup act?
At least Jeremy does funny things and says funny stuff.
I completely agree that comedy characters can (and possibly even should) have their flaws, but counter to that, they have some sort of charm or redeeming quality.
I could imagine having an amusing conversation with Jeremy in a pub. It might be awkward, it might make me feel uncomfortable, but it would be interesting and at least in hindsight, amusing.
I could also imagine being at a boring middle class dinner party and getting stuck next to Lee's 'character' and having to drink as much wine as possible until it was polite to suggest that I had to go home to let the dog out for a piss.
