I don't get the sausage thing. Also, at the end is the box supposed to have been empty to signify there's no game?
Both jokes work under the premise of The Monkey's Paw, it's a famous short story that you can find on the Internet, but it's older than the telephone. Seriously fucking ancient.
here:

Basically, the monkey's paw is an artifact that grants you one wish for each of the fingers, but the wishes are never granted exactly as you want (for example, in the original story the father wishes for a large sum of money, soon a representative from his son's employer comes to the house to let him know that his son has been horrifically mangled and mutilated to death by a machine and that the company is giving him compensation for the loss of his son, the exact sum he wished for. They wish the son back to life, he's a zombie, etc...)
It's since been used and abused in stuff like Wishmaster (suck), Bedazzled (AWESOME movie), etc...
So the gray cat wishes for DNF, he gets it but finds out through the Internet about the regen health before he plays it. During his revelation about nostalgia he gets hungry and wishes for a hotdog, and he gets a 6 foot hotdog that's chasing him. Realizing he got fucked over, he decides to check the DNF box, and yep, no game.
So that's the joke, and now that I've explained it it's no longer funny.
EDIT: Wow, that WAS a dick joke, not what I thought at all. I need to get my mind back in the gutter. :3
