The alkylated benzene looks like a little bug guy. It has two legs, two arms, and two antennas

It's crudely drawn images of an alkylating agent stuck to shit. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's the whole joke. Like, no deep levels to this. I think it's literally what you see.

Uh, well to alkylate something is to make it more alkaline, that is to make it less acidic.

In the case of the girlfriend, I believe the joke is that the OP fucked her, since the vagina is very slightly acidic and semen is more alkaline. The others are just nonsense to me.

Mind you, all of that’s a giant shot in the dark. I work in electronics, not chemistry.
