Usually they walk a tight rope of nerdy/funny. This crossed into nerdy territory with a vague pop reference to try to make it funny.

Didn't do so well.

xkcd has its hits and misses. I personally like basketcase comics. They are usually always hits. Check this one out for example:

I don't get either of those. I'm guessing the second one is a maths/physics one though, which is probably why I don't get it.

The first one has the S.S. Minnow on it which is the boat that Gilligan, the Skipper, and the rest of the crew were on before they got marooned on the island that came to be known as Gilligan's Island. The second one has to do with Edsger Dijkstra, who is famous for his shortest path algorithm, among other things, commonly called Dijkstra's algorithm. The license plate has Dijkstra on it and the model of the car is a pathfinder .

That'll be why I didn't get either of them then. I've never seen Gilligan's Island or heard of a pathfinder car or that guy's algorithm.

Its a really cool life actually. Rather then laughing when people make those references. You just slowly shake your head and sigh. It has a profound effect.

But in order to shake your head and sigh, you must have understood the reference .
