Original artwork, not a still

Arnold Rimmer

Kryten, kindly get to the point before I jam your nose between your cheeks and make it the filling of a buttocks sandwich.

Rimmer threatens Kryten with an absurd sandwich made from his own nose and cheeks. The gross exaggeration is the joke. It's an impatient demand to hurry up, delivered as elaborate insult rather than a plain request.
