I agree that it usually doesn’t add anything to the meme, especially nowadays. It’s a pretty low-effort template.
I like Know Your Meme’s description:
I think its original usage in mocking attention seeking was funnier. It’s basically generalized into any observational humor though, which is when it becomes unnecessary.
That makes sense to me where it would work. The memer would have to have an accurate sense of humor instead of just scatter shooting the phrase all over the place, but that's difficult, so we end up with these. Thanks
