For those who are unaware of the story behind this short film, the 'narrator' of it is Trey Parker's college roommate, a foreign exchange student, who Trey just asked to tell his interpretation of what he knew about American history. Trey just recorded that audio and then made a very basic animation to go along with it.
It's not supposed to be a hilarious joke that was purposely concocted, but instead just an interesting/amusing piece. It's sorta along the same lines as other bits people have done from time to time having kids explain things as they understand them, but with a foreigner instead.
