The author read about the Pauli exclusion principle on Wikipedia and quickly realized that the word “exclusion” could be combined with the word “sex” to create a new word: “sexclusion.” This was the comedic spark he needed in order to create another scientific-concept-transposed-into-real-life cartoon.
The Pauli exclusion principle is a quantum mechanical principle that states that “no two identical fermions may occupy the same quantum state simultaneously”. This principle in used in explaining the distribution of electrons (fermions) or electron pairs within atomic orbitals (a quantum state).
In order to represent these complex scientific concepts in terms of geek sex and relationships, the author substituted the “electron pairs” for romantic pairs and the “orbitals” for dorm rooms. If one were to force this metaphor sufficiently, one could represent a non-paired electron that is pushed to the outer-most orbital as a single college student made to sleep on a couch. With a bit more forcing one could correlate the low restfulness of a particular orbital with that of a couch, which is not an ideal resting place for a human.
Upon completion of detailed character timelines for three of the most well known geek movies (Asperger syndrome), the author realized that a humorous punch-line was necessary in order to publish these charts as a comic strip.
The punch-line comes visually in the form of two more charts appended to the three originals. These extra charts, both much less detailed than the first few, create a humorous and instantly visible contrast when juxtaposed with the fairly complex ones. The joke being told here is that Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Jurassic Park have plots involving many characters who travel between a multitude of locations, while 12 Angry Men has 12 characters who are confined to a single room and Primer’s characters travel through time in a notoriously complex manner.
The author has once again gone to great lengths to turn a simple observation into a large comic involving multiple charts. This is how geeks masturbate.

Doc Brown, a character from the Back to the Future trilogy, is a time traveling scientist known for his eccentric personality and absent-mindedness. A component of this strip’s punch-line is his most well known catch phrase: “Great Scott!”
This comic is humorous because the child has dressed up as the Doc Brown character and attempted trick-or-treating on October 30th - one day before Halloween. This is just the kind mistake, and reaction to said mistake, that could be expected from “Doc.”
The guy is faking like he is climbing to show off on the internet, but the girl catches him.
Later she will probably talk about math while he does oral sex on her.

The blonde girl calls megan’s boyfriend and convinces him to make some delicious nachos. However, he doesn’t know that the blonde girl’s real motive was to kill megan’s wifi signal with the microwave he uses because they were playing a first person shooter video game against each other over the internet, and the blonde girl wanted to kill her.

This guy is upset because the TSA officer took his water bottle from him at the security checkpoint. He thinks that if he can get the officer to understand that the laptop that is allowed on the flight is much more dangerous in the hands of a technologically gifted person such as himself because he can make the batteries explode, the officer will see how harmless the water is in comparison and return it. He is of course mistaken, and his girlfriend is not amused because he always does things like this and this will instead upset the officer and delay their travel.
Note: the author feels that women are superior to men.

The Star Wars Holiday Special is the worst movie of all time, as the graph clearly points out. You’ll want to watch it on bad movie night because you think it will be funny and because it’s Star Wars and you like Star Wars, but it will just make you depressed and want to drink too much.

In what appears to be an homage to The Terminator, the humans are no match for flying robots that want to kill them.
It is funny because while the MQ-9 Reaper UAV fits the literal definition of a robot, it does not match the classical notion of a robot (set up by such movies as Terminator).
The author is clearly in a state of arrested development - constantly thinking about, and finding humor in such elementary subjects as Dinosaurs.
Note: the strip’s female is in the dominant position.

He is saying that since they already had photos of the same location taken in the summer when the leaves on the trees were presumably green, they could have simply adjusted the colors of the leaves in those same photos to orange, yellow, and red in photo editing computer software instead of driving back and taking new photos.
It is a commentary on how some people would rather simulate enjoyable events in their life with technology rather than going outside and experiencing things like the beauty of nature. The female understands this.
