Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):Partially to show you couldn't just drop something in there and they'd show up, partially because the padlock is otherwise only used for getting the Suffer (and nonessential to the game itself, so you weren't losing anything you'd need and thus give yourself a dead end), and partially because it's fun to throw stuff into the ocean.
Also...Spoiler (mouse over to reveal):Pick up some ocean water from the Isle of Wonder with your bare hands. Shenanigans ensue. Cliff's Notes version: The narrator tries to make a funny, Graham is not amused, the narrator feels unappreciated, the TSL staff shows up, and Graham walks. And you die. Kind of. For a second. ADIOS!
Oh. My. GOSH! That was sheer brilliance! Thanks, guys, for remembering our forum jokes in this amazing game!

There were some inside jokes, but they aren't baffling or anything--the nonsense about ninjas, cookies, etc, were forum-things from a while back. To a non-regular forum-goer, just silliness really. (which is about all it amounts to when you get down to it anyways!)
I don't recall there being any inside jokes in that whole routine. Of course, it's funnier if you know who the various speakers are, but an outsider would find it funny as well, if I am remembering it correctly.
