The way SNL has been lately I can see them doing a skit where the whole joke is that a guy orders pudding and gets jell-o and they insist that its the same thing. It would go on for 18 minutes and the guest star would be that guy we all hate.

I have made that face before. When talking with an aquaintance known to be slow on the uptake, you start to preemptively explain things to them. You turn to them quickly as your eyes open wide and glaze over. Your jaw tenses, and you speak with a level but too-loud voice, using the smallest words possible, dancing on the razor-thin edge between unnatural calm and madness.

I'm wondering at all the lames for this comment. Is it because he was drunk? Because I think that warrants an extra chubby or two for getting the quote down accurately in the first place.
It's probably because it's an arbitrary quote for no apparent reason.
I think it's a reference to the face Roast Beef is making in Panel 4 - the return of the creepy slit eyes accompanied by a grammatically interesting declarative statement.
