Hmm. I guess I'm the only one here who didn't really like this episode. It was mostly good, the Triad parts were great, but Dean's sudden transformation into ladies' man didn't seem right, and, I dunno... genitalia jokes seemed... excessive?

Yeah, a little contrived for what we're used to fielding from Doc and Jackson. Almost a nonsequiter to the rest of the episode, as awkwardly imposed as that was. They can be hormonal without the cliche.

Honestly, I thought it was a nice touch. I thought, "Yeah it's a lame joke, but it works."

The dingus joke seemed two-fold to me - to establish the Alchemist as a gay character for those who may not have watched the show previously (even Venture Brothers throws new viewers a bone in this way from time to time) and to set up the real (and quite hilarious) punchline of the bit - "are you embarrassed by your ignorance?" "constantly!" That right there is some Hank gold! The conversation about Al's penis is really just a mildly funny way to get to the real joke.
Also, the pussy joke was a little cheap but thoroughly gut-busting and they tied it in later when the cat actually talks.

I wonder if the pussy joke could have also been a nod to Mrs. Slocombe frequently talking about her pussy (cat) on the British sitcom Are You Being Served?

I think so--Mrs. Slocombe--but also because the humor is that Dean is not even trying to be funny--as Dermot would try--he actually wants to pet her cat. Hence her reflexive reaction and then softening. We are talking about the guy who cries when twin blonds attempted to fulfill every heterosexual male puberty fantasy. He is that innocent.

But he is getting curious.

Love the episode though I did, I do have to agree about the dingus/pussy(cat) jokes. The dingus one at least had the payoff of "Aren't you just a little ashamed of your ignorance? / Yeah, constantly!" but both it and the pussy joke are cheap, easy gags that are beneath Doc and Jackson's norm of insightful humor.
