This happened to a kid in my high school. Last name null, broke the system they used to print report cards.

I would say that the name didn't break the system, it just revealed that the system was always broken.
Mandatory https://xkcd.com/327/
Why is this mandatory? Who made the mandate?
It’s a bit. It’s quite popular to link an xkcd whenever it’s relevant, along with one of a few different catch phrases. “Mandatory” being one of those. For this phrase in particular, the joke is that there is usually an xkcd for most situations, and that it is our “duty” as nerds to link to the appropriate one. It’s an inside joke for nerds. I hope this explains the custom to you.

I did
It gets to the point where you don't have to click the link. You just think "Oh, #327 again."
Maybe xkcd needs its own url scheme, something like: xkcd://327

A lot of hassle to save two characters compared to a simple xkcd.com/327 :P
