It's kind of an epilogue joke, I guess. The strip is supposed to be
mildly amusing all the way through, with no actual punchline. The
first panel is mildly amusing because of its anticlimax, where
present Nerd Boy abruptly dispels the "Christmas carol" reference.
The second is mostly a bridge of exposition, but mildly amusing
because Nerd Boy keeps insulting himself. The third might draw a
tiny chuckle since Nerd Boy proves to be stupid, and the fourth was
meant to be an extrapolation of that: Since he got it in the past,
how come he doesn't understand it now?

The fourth panel was also meant as a reversal; present NB goes from
mocking to being mocked.

Anyway, it was a bit of a rushed job.
