Over here in English-speaking Yurp, the phrase used to be "...As the actress said to the bishop."

This dates from time immoral.

It's being edged out... I blames the internetwebs.

In that case I shall be a reactionary old git and start campaigning for the return of 'As the actress said....' with immediate effect.

I prefer the actress talking to the bishop because it adds an extra level of humour, the chance that a 'holier than thou' Bishop might be getting up to no good....

now where have I heard that recently?

I'm not getting it either. Perhaps you need a "Y" in your genetic makeup in order to understand

It is a joke with sexual cogitations using everyday speech.
For example,

Punchline: "That is what he said"

Meaning that you are not getting sex.

It is a "burn" or a way to make fun of people in a harmless way.

Sheesh.
For the girls, here.
There are endless variations of boys trying to maintain their stud reputation.
Subtle bragging and demeaning are par. Dominance, ye know..

Scene at baseball game.

Player One...seeking to demote masculinity of Player Two;

"You ran those bases like an old lady!"

Player Two, seeking to reestablish dominance;

"That's not what your wife said."

Laughter and/or fistfights optional.

Ah. Thank you. Context was missing in action until now.
But now I see. It is one of those things that is SO FUNNY that context is no longer even needed, right?
Some people just aren't...guys...I guess.
