I once had an emo friend doing a course for the marines. He made the cut.

This is a pun using the phrase "made the cut." In the context of the military, "making the cut" refers to passing the selection process. An "emo" person might be associated with cutting their own skin as a form of self-harm, so the phrase could be interpreted literally, giving it a dark twist. The humor comes from the double meaning.
