I don't get the joke, "I wish I was high on potenuse." Can you explain what's so funny about it?

Sure! At the beginning of the video, Key and Peele and are in a classroom learning about triangles. The teacher is discussing the hypotenuse (longest side of a right triangle). Peele makes a joke to his friend that he wishes he was high (drugged-up) on potenuse. This is a play on the word hypotenuse. His friend Key tells it to the entire class, and they find it hilarious because it's a play on the word hypotenuse.
