And even that would be relatable if it was self-deprecating. The article is right, the audience is positioned as an outsider; "It's funny because he mentioned that thing which is nerdy" rather than any realization of the character that Penny might find that reference impossible to relate to. You're clearly intended to identify with Penny.
