`the joke is that you’ll be in living in SF and all your friends have cell #s in funny area codes because there’s no long distanceanymore in the US’
or this.

This comic serves two purposes:
1. The author shows that, while being a child prodigy, was not a complete dork after all, he was cool and clever, because he avoided reading books for school assignments and instead watched the tv version.
2. Some obscure reference to some shit american show from the 90s. A lot of the viewers might have seen it too. This is the ultimate confirmation that they are very much like the author, a genius and cyber poet.
The joke is that fifty shades of grade would not be on a family-friendly tv show because it is an erotic novel.
It was brought to my attention that it is also sexist. I guess I do not even notice how much the author hates women any more.

The only way this could have been funnier is if it was Sonic The Hedgehog blogging all that incomprehensible autistic shit.

Due to Hubble’s role in formulating Hubble’s Law he can be associated with redshifts.
If he lived today he might as a joke have a modified warning on his side-view mirror. If he was an xkcd reader. Probably not though.
The readers heard of Hubble Telescope while feigning interest in pop astronomy and find comfort in recognizing who Hubble was and reading the wikipedia page.
This is humour.

The people who cause drama are usually the ones who complain about it the most.
This is a keen observation presented in the form of a `graph’ to illustrate this groundbreaking discovery in a way that is familiar to people emotionally and intellectually stunted at middle school maths level.

The author took elementary school level chemistry and/or physics.
This is the scene from that cheesy movie where the schizophrenic genius watches a plastic bag fly in the air, now in comic form.

The author actually had sex at some point in his life thus giving hope to readers that they may one day achieve the same goal.
Using humour in an intimate situation is a defense mechanism people who have issues with their personality sometimes use. Or wish they could.

When his imaginary housemate asks the author to microwave something the author (possibly as a side effect of the nervous breakdown caused by loneliness) attaches human attributes to a button on a microwave oven, and thus finds an object in his mind even more pityful than his empty life.
