This is the ur-lightbulb joke, on which nearly all lightbulb jokes are based. As such, it is an example of metahumour.
The fact that it is used as a point of discussion in this strip, and that the final gag is a pun on the discussion of the metahumour, makes this strip metametahumour.
And you know, I never meta metahumour I didn't like.
None, they used oil lamps.
