It's because Suzy is always pushing it to the limit.

Make Suzy into a Spectral too. She can join the Johnny/Isaac bloc that'll form in opposition to the Activity Club.

Max just has to point out to Suzy that even if a rule is created forbidding bus jumping it can't be retroactively used against him. He's in the clear as long as he doesn't bus jump from here on out.

Bus jumping has been declared to be extremely against the rules. I'm pretty sure the school administration would indeed enforce it against Max for the preexisting offence if Suzy were to let slip that it was him.
Now shush up while she's blackmailing him.

I think he's suggesting that she'd fit really well into a medieval court, with all the intrigue and scheming that inevitably happens there.

What he's saying is that she's a Game of Thrones character.

Or a Crusader Kings 2 character, alternatively.

EDIT: The "marry a rich dude" theory is probably more correct, also simpler.

Telling a girl she should marry an old rich man because she has no talent is a pretty lovely thing to say, but I think most if not all bets are off if said girl is blackmailing you.

Mostly I just think it's funny when characters I like are huge assholes to each other.

Most of the characters in this comic are being huge assholes at the moment. Given the choice, put your faith in Johnny Jhonny.

It's a subtle point, but I think making the reference specifically "lonely landed nobles" instead of "lonely rich business heirs" or whatever the more cutting, Mean Girls gossip style insult would be makes it less offensive yet a better insult, and also funnier.

Max has a tendency to just quietly continue a conversation with people under his breath while they're trying to talk to him, and it's always great material. I think it works so well because Max lives among various anime or school cliches and it's a great way to undercut whatever speech is getting thrown his way. He's not the only one that does it, it's a pretty popular thing in Parantural in general, but it's definitely part of Max's particular style.

Edit: VVVV Suzy is definitely noticing, and trying to bravely persevere regardless.

I think Boss Leader was the only one who actually noticed Max rambling to himself.

But she's not so much an anime as she is an unnerving dream lady and also kind of a jackass.
