I don't get it, I don't see what is at all funny about the word scrapple.

It just means to get into a fight

Hooligans and scallywags get into scrapples all the time :P
Have you really heard of the word scrapple? I bet you're going to quote shakespeare at me now, showing that it is a classical and very traditional English word.

Mortimer - "These promises are fair, and parties sure,
And our induction full of or prosperous hope"

Hotspur - "Lord Mortimer and Cousin Glyndwr,
Will you sit down or scrapple with uncle Worcester"

Glyndwr - "No here it is, we wil sit cousin Percy".

(Henry IV - Act 3 Scene 1)
