aHAhahahahaah. "It's a good joke! I can prove it!" I thought the joke alone was hilarious. :)
Now that I know what cantor's diagonal is, it's better.
Nothing about this is funny to me :-/ Could someone explain? lol

It gives a mildly lame math joke and when the guy doesn't think it's funny, the mathematician responds "I'll prove that it's funny!", meaning "prove" like he'd prove a theorem.

What about the lame ass nerdy math joke? explain that one.

I don't really want to write another essay, so I'll delegate the task to wikipedia:

I actually checked wiki before you posted it :-/
Towelie -- if you don't get the joke(s), then the overall irony should be funny. The fact that a computer is making a lame math joke, much to the distress of the tech, while meanwhile the nerdy people are laughing! So basically, me posting this comic here is essentially to make fun of Sidoh and Ender. THAT'S funny! :)

There we go. I didn't know it was the computer making the joke, thats why it wasn't funny haha. I thought it was just maybe someone online with him :-/

Well, it's a long story, that comic's been running for years. The computer is just an AI programmed by the Dust Bunny. But that totally isn't important, just pretend it's two people talking. :P
<edit> Hang on, that isn't even the AI talking, it's the person he's on the phone with (that's what the --\/\/\-- arrow means)

Yeah, I don't think that's at all relevant to the joke.

Unless I am completely misunderstanding you, if you repeat any string s for strlen(s) or more iterations, you'll get the word spelled out diagonally?
I still don't understand it :P

Yeah, but the joke talks about a big grey something or other ... that's why I did it with elephant ::)
