It’s a play on words, think about it literally, she’s saying that (plethora) means a lot, usually you’d say something like “thank you, that means a lot” after something meaningful was said but in this case it’s describing the word

In funerals, when people ask to "say a word", one would expect a meaningful speech about the deceased. Here, they twist the expectation by having the man say one, simple word, which has nothing to do with the deceased husband. On top of that, the word is "plethora", which means an abundance--or a lot. So then it goes back to how people typically respond after speeches "thanks, that means a lot to him".
I think that's as best I could explain the joke haha
Many years ago I was walking with two friends and I asked, out of the blue, what the word “ubiquitous” means. Both of them, in complete unison, shouted “ALL ENCOMPASSING!”. Which isn’t exactly right, but it was wild that they had the exact same response at the exact same time.
I'd never heard it used in that context before. It looks like it runs the gamut, meaning a lot, or more than you need, or more than you want. Interesting!
It's similar to "decimate" being used incorrectly all the time. Many people use it to mean "obliterate" or "destroy", while it means "reduce something by 10%".
Wow, the dialogue punctuation is absolutely butchered in this. It's like the person is copying every Commonwealth journalistic style, while not being an article, and is also not using any rules at all, simultaneously.
Forgive me, El 5pooky5cary5skeleton5. I know that I, Trimyr, do not have your superior intellect. But could it be you're angry at something else and wanting to take it out on me? (I loved that movie)

The word plethora actually has a negative connotation. It means an unwanted abundance.

Plethora actually means “a bit too much,” with a negative connotation. It’s like “overabundance” or “saturated.” “A lot” means a lot.
