I watched the advert on YT and find nothing about it offensive at all, I don't think it's funny either but it really depends on the person watching it as to whether the humour used becomes offensive or not.
As far as whether drag queens want to menstruate, I don't think they do. I thought that being a drag queen is different to wanting to physically change your gender completely. But admittedly I've never had reason to know much about that topic so I may well be wrong. Drag queens are a form of entertainment I think, more than anything else.
I think it was more about the two people lightly competing until the actual women raised a challenge that the drag queen couldn't compete with. And that in turn is meant to boost the appeal of the product advertised.
Trying to make menstruation seem appealing on any level is kinda unrealistic anyway, haha.
