any thoughts on how to think about the ranking here

I assume there is a joke, asssuming it gets more high register as it goes down, and assume having gleichwohl last is the punchline, but obvs i don’t get it.
This is a quite famous meme from like 8 years ago. It’s about “normal” vs “fancy” (and can be extended to “idiot” as well).
The ranking is fine, though I would say I myself am more likely to write “gleichwohl” than “dessen ungeachtet”. The latter is just so unwieldly, while “gleichwohl” has a nice flow.
Thanks. I’m familiar with this meme-format already but wasn’t sure why gleichwohl was the most fancy. Was the joke that they are all kind of fancy appart from trozdem which is every day german?
Oh, here’s one with the modification:
