This. Pickup at the right of the bell curve looks a bit different. It involves more puns, for instance.

I'd guess that this is just indicative that being at the right end of the bell curve works on those who are also at the right end of the bell curve.

FYI - puns and wit work as a pick-up line... only if they're your puns and wit... not if you're just parroting somebody else's idea of what "should work".
