It's a little deeper than you guys aren't giving it credit for being.
The skit is about a music producer conflicting with the artist over the the track's sound. The humor lies in the artistic decision of the producer to not only incorporate a cowbell, but to do so in everlarger quantities, as if the cowbell would add value to the song.
I think the irony tips the scale at the end when the band decides as a collective that the cowbell does in fact sound good, and that in the end it made not only the song go big, but the band itself.
You're looking past all that because of what SNL has become. When I see the old episodes I realize that people's sense of humor changes, and my choice of humor was mid to late 90s. Earlier seasons were slapstick, and the latest ones are college.
