The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr. The formula for the area of a circle is πr². The r² in the comic is not r-squared, but rather r-with-a-footnote. I didn't find it very funny, myself.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
That your colors are aquamarine and taupe(Don't even come NEAR me with that teal crap...what is this, Studio 54?) And instead of a cake, your cousin is gonna make adorable prune danishes, and you're gonna dance to "Close To You" even though part of you thinks it's hacky and played-out instead of retro and adorable...what do you think?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I didn't find it very funny, myself.
Hard to argue with this. For me, my reaction was, "Wait, what? Oh."

Ah, not knowing the formula for the circumference of a circle threw me off.
I dislike comics that make me feel dumb. I think I'll wander around that huge picture that shows the world.

Thrive to spite them
I'll go with the theory that some people think women have their weddings all planned out way before they get engaged. Or assume it's a fast process. I don't know.
Tep, can you try saying something like, "We have a date and a location and unfortunately I'm really busy with (work thing)/have to make a call and can't talk about it now."
Or you could just describe the wedding in Steel Magnolias.

Claim your colors are International Hailing Distress Orange and Paisley. While they're trying to figure that one out, escape.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Actually, of course, those are parody "wedding details" but I've eyerolled through enough of these conversations(despite them making me feel like a Teamster on hormone replacement, femininity wise) that I think I've got it. Bonus points if you can find a "cute" way to call Tim a moron and get your way. Or make a "suggestive" reference to all the sex you've not had since you got your rock. I'd better stop. I'm making my own reflux act up.

That's okay, I'll still go with those. Because then I'm all done.

"My colors are paisley and plaid." I like it.
People asked me my colors, I kind of blinked at them in confusion, then said "My mother-in-law is doing it." "Don't you care about your own wedding?" "I care that it's legal, beyond that, no." I was given very disappointed looks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is this basic net nerd lingo now? I keep seeing all these gaming conversations that make no sense, because you couldn't do that in Zork or Tetris, but I think even I get that.
