I assume "TMI" here stands for "too much information". Cueball stares at the screen (presumably with an Internet browser open) and realizes that he will never be able to internalize the amounts of data freely available on the net. The off-screen voice simply confirms it. The humor of the exchange seems to be derived from the fact that "too much information" is usually used to indicate that someone has publicly given away too much private and potentially embarrassing information and made others feel awkward. Cueball, however, uses the phrase in its most literal sense. --Koveras (talk) 06:47, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
TMI is probably Too Much Information (taken literally, not figuratively about overshare) --JakubNarebski (talk) 06:49, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
