Oh man... I wish I could have used Marten's like in the fourth panel in more relationships... but when I tried, it only made things worse.

Not really, cuz in the old days Pintsize would have actually said something crude.
Oh, bother.
It's funny how Pintsize taking on a more humanoid form makes such comments a lot less easy to shrug off.
Even Pintsize realized this when he tried to crack a joke about Willow's breasts.
Disgusted, but not surprised
I miss Pintsize’s old design. It would make him stand out among the humanoid robot characters.
I mean, his old design was increasingly incongruous with the rest of the world.

That comic needs an extra panel. One where their expression are the same as the last panel, while Pintsize’s is the one in the second to last.

Willow's still tipsy? Are jello shots really that strong? I admit I've never had them — I prefer my hard liquor unadulterated with gelatin.

Disgusted, but not surprised
Since Liz is already drunk, I assume that she and Willow have been further partaking.
Am I a weirdo?
They tend to each contain about a shot of vodka, so three jello shots is three drinks. Based on her size, she doesn't strike me as a person who can quickly shrug off three drinks.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.
And like keep in mind that you have about as much alcohol in that one shot as you would have in a can of average-joe beer or a single nip on the rocks, in a form factor that takes seconds to consume and tastes like candy more than alcohol - which makes it easier to overindulge compared to a normal shot.
It's definitely not out of the question for Willow to still be tipsy on three jello shots, depending on how fast she had them and how high her tolerance is. And now that I think of it, the fancy vodka would barely taste like anything and probably have a higher proof than your everyday middle-shelf vodka. So yeah, I would say that the vodka could be that strong - given its quality and the expedited way it's being consumed.
From my experience, vodka is a very unassuming drink that sneaks up on you. There was a point where I could drink a whole bottle of gin in a single night and only get incoherent at the last eighth of a bottle, and vodka would have me on the floor talking nonsense and almost puking at three quarters of a bottle. It's potent stuff.

Oh, bother.
I'm just not a fan of vodka's taste. I'm more of a rum or whiskey or brandy guy.
Disgusted, but not surprised
Vodka, by legal definition (within the United States at least) is "without distinctive character, aroma, taste or color" when distilled. It's only after distillation that they start adding all of the other stuff to make what they sell on the shelves. Among other things, that means that almost all vodka starts as a 190 proof neutral spirit that is then flavored, diluted, and denatured to wind up with the variety of tastes and prices. The difference between cheap vodka and expensive vodka (other than the price tag) is generally that they added more ingredients to the cheap stuff to make it taste worse. It also has the odd side effect that vodka's flavor changes more with dilution, compared to other liquors that have the flavor of the alcohol more overcome by their contaminants.

By the end of the party, those two will either be fighting, fucking, or both. My money's on both.

I hope for her sake that Liz isn't drinking Midnight Hobo.

If you realize you’re a jellyfish someday…
Is that supposed to be a Does This Remind You of Anything? for transgender people?
Oh, bother.
I kind of thought AI wanting to switch to new bodies was already that in general. We've seen that with Momo, Winslow, and Pintsize. May doesn't count since she switched bodies because her old body was literally falling apart. She didn't have a choice but to get a new body. Same with Roko — and she's been struggling to accept her new body as her body despite it being practically identical to her old one and superior in every way.

It has, but the way Faye phrases it is telling. "If you realize you’re a jellyfish…”, instead of, "If you want to be a jellyfish…".
