by increasing gear ratio, you increase torque and reduce rotational speed.
if you get to astronomically large gear ratios, you can have a machine that spins like crazy on one end and stays practically still at the other.
at infinite gear ratio, the last gear will be impossible to move as force needed to rotate it would also be infinite and its rotational speed would be equal to zero
torque sounds a bit like talk, which is a lampshade of a common phrase - all talk, no action
I hope that explanation makes this joke more understandable.
