2040

Randall has been so consumed by modernity that even the oldest frameworks for relating to other human beings are baffling and foreign to him.

Now, I'm not saying Randall necessarily wrote this by simply selecting random entries from the Wikipedia list of landmark Supreme Court cases, but every single one of these is on it.

Actually, I don't hate this one. It doesn't explain the joke, it isn't excruciatingly belabored, and it isn't even all that smug.

Maybe it's precisely because these facts have no moral dimension and demand nothing of you that Randall prefers to opine about them.

"I'm an Apple user, which means I'm at the mercy of some repair shop on those distressingly-regular occasions when my phone or laptop breaks. It also means that I think every commonplace observation that passes through my head is remarkably incisive, and that when my conscience is troubled by something, I try to ward off the feeling by resolving to feel vaguely uncomfortable about it instead of making a judgment one way or the other, because that might actually demand something from me."

Randall somehow manages to sound smug even when admitting he's wrong. And I love how he's so lazy he can't even draw the people differently in the last panel, when they're supposed to be screaming in horror.

This is how Randall remembers college. No one else in the room, just him and the teacher exchanging sparkling repartee for an hour at a time. You don't see the other students wishing he would stop trying to tell these idiotic jokes because he really wasn't aware of them.
