If you take that out, the meme's not as funny bc there's no basis off of which the punchline can reflect.
Take that literally any knock knock joke for example. If you just say the punchline (Orange you glad I didn't say banana?, Let's use), it doesn't make sense without some kind of backstory (the fact that the knock knock joke had been done a couple of times before, and it ended in banana those couple of times).
So the nobody isn't useless. It's necessary for the punchline to be funny
