This? This is ice. This is what happens to water when it gets too cold. This? This is Kent. This is what happens to people when they get too sexually frustrated.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker explains ice in elementary terms, then applies the same explanatory pattern to Kent. A simple account of cold water becomes a mocking account of sexual frustration. The matching sentence structures lend the personal insult a deliberately absurd air of scientific instruction.
