I thought the final panel was less funny than several other bits. The dog? The food rapping? The fact that he's now Gabe and Tycho's son?
The problem I see is that he seems to be angling less for the job as a designer and more for Gabe and Tycho's (wait, are those their real names?) job as a cartoonist. One might worry that he'd have to be repeatedly told "No, sit down and fix the website, stop pitching us strip ideas"
Though in order to be more like the strip, 80% of the jokes would need to be references completely opaque to anyone who hasn't played whatever obscure video game came out yesterday.

I think I know why: the only funny part was the last cell. And this man was trying desperately to be funny the whole time.
Oh, and the "design". Humongous blank space on the left; comic pushed off to the right. I really hope he didn't send it like that.

I found a copy of the original job ad, btw:

Well, I didn't think those things were funny. They were just forced and random.
It follows the humor of the actual strip pretty closely.
