As Redlemon points out, the joke is funny because it plays on our expectations. It assumes you have heard a similar joke that revolved around something misheard or a malapropism (i.e. pianist does not equal penis -- but they do sound an awful lot alike). We are expecting a big, clever finish but one is not delivered. In the end, the humour is derived from the play between our expectations and the simple answer. He received a big, orange head because he asked for it.
It is just plain silly. Nobody would ask for this.
