Regrettably, it is not terribly funny. Most of the humor in phrases of
that form comes from from two aspects of the original phrase not
present in the spam you got.
Most important is that the initial phrase is an accusation, not an
exclamation of discovery. "*You* got *your* chocolate in my peanut
butter!" This sets up the punchline to be a childish tu quoque: "[How
dare you accuse me of getting things in other things, because] You got
your peanut butter in my chocolate!"
The spam you got is trying to be an apology: "I seem to have gotten my
peanut butter in your chocolate! Sorry about that!" This could be
funny if it were referencing the old commercial to parody British
politeness or something: "Nonsense! All the time it was *my* chocolate
in *your* peanut butter! The fault is mine!". But really it would only
work as a direct reference to the original commercial.
Sometimes I get spam that purports to be from someone upset that I
spammed them, and that fits the format of the joke better. "I found
your name on a spammer website!" Yes, I bet you did. "WHY ARE YOU
SPAMMING ME?" BE SPECIFIC... CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT A TIME WHEN I
SPAMMING YOU? Etc.
Less importantly, the preposition "in" is a big part of the humor
here, though I'm not sure why. "On" isn't as funny; possibly because
"in" is irreversible, providing the conflict, and symmetrical, making
it impossible for an outsider to know who really is at fault here.
The original wasn't terribly funny to begin with. It's mostly parodies
of it that stick in my mind.
This has been "Is This Funny?"
