The Joke
A man is talking to a woman, saying he is afraid he cannot get any of the genes through "that much legs accelerate." The woman asks "Accelerate?" and the man responds with further confused scientific-sounding jargon. The woman then states that their date has been "entirely pointless." In the final panel, the man pivots and asks, "Have I given you a tour of the view from my apartment?" -- revealing that his incomprehensible pseudo-scientific babbling was never the point; the real goal all along was simply to get her back to his place.
The Humor
The comic satirizes a particular type of person who uses impressive-sounding but ultimately meaningless scientific language as a social strategy. The humor comes from the sharp contrast between the man's pretentious intellectual facade and his transparently simple romantic motives. When his attempt to sound smart completely fails and the woman declares the date pointless, he immediately drops the act and switches to a straightforward pickup line. The joke suggests that for some people, intellectual posturing is just another tool in the dating toolkit -- and not even a particularly effective one. It is a classic SMBC observation about how people weaponize (or fail to weaponize) intelligence in social situations.
