His statement contained a non sequitur.

Answer:

A non sequitur is the attempted connection in a sentence of 2 things that have nothing to do with each other (from Latin: 'does not follow'):

Phone Call:

"Hi is the man of the house in?"

"No, my mommy likes eggs."

The answer had nothing to do with the question. Some very good humor can come from non sequiturs but it can't be over and over; repetition kills the funny and if you do use a lot of them, there should be some tiny connection between the parts:

"Hi, is your mommy there?"

"My sister has cooties"

"Oh, you know, cooties like bananas!"

"I don't like bananas"

"Oh then I guess you're not a cootie, is mommy home?"

Often an entertainer can get a real laugh from the audience when an audience member pops up a wild non sequitur and they run with it.

"So I've just come from the airport .."

"Hey ... cats like butter!!!!"

"Is that some type of new plane? Cats get butter and I get smacked in the face with a bag of peanuts ... I wanna fly their airline!"
