I think you have to know your audience. Hyperbolic threats of violence from someone I know isn't violent make me laugh, they are not mean, they are funny.
Also this guy is kinda known for fairly violent comedy videos, so "I'll skin you alive" is pretty tame for him.
For example he's created an ad that ended up being banned by the UK advertising watchdog, twice:

This just tells me the guy is actually violent though. If he's literally getting banned for his stuff then he can say it's for comedy/meant to be funny, but he's missing the mark.
Complaining about being censored in this case isn't really valid as he's going over the line.
Why speculate when you can go and see for yourself what his content is like?

Well it's not violent from what I can see, but it's also not funny.
He hasn't posted in a while though, so I think I'd have to check out what he's like on twitter to see if he's turned into some erratic psycho.
That's his main channel with the higher production skits. There's also his side channel at https://youtube.com/@TomSkaAndFriends which has a lot of great content as well. If you don't find him funny, that's a valid opinion since we have different views on what's comedic. But assuming he's turned into some "erratic psycho" is just rude.
I'm just going off what he himself has posted.
Ultimately it may be completely out of context, but based purely on the small sample he appears a bit extreme. It's the problem with small snippets like this, and why you need to be careful with what you post.
