(since nobody seems to know, this is a scene from the Prisoner, which is what "who does #2 work for" is a reference to)

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to Austin Powers, where he's giving the Irish hitman a swirly in a casino bathroom and yelling "WHO DOES NUMBER 2 WORK FOR" while a gambler played by Tom Arnold in the next stall is trying to encourage him on.

You are correct. But what Austin Powers was referencing was this scene from The Prisoner. Top notch 60's TV!
