“No one:” represents something coming out of the blue, completely unprompted. It’s definitely getting overused, but that’s just an inevitable part of the lifecycle of a meme.
a phrasal template used to mock people who strive to attract attention and tend to provide unsolicited opinions, as well as for observational humor.
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
It’s meant to imply that someone or something has gone way beyond expectations, for better or for worse. No One says anything, ALL OF A SUDDEN HYPE WILLIAMS
I still don’t really get how the “no one” tag works.
This meme works perfectly fine without “no one” preceding it.
Most “no one” memes do.
Why add the no one in front?
Is it like nobody asked to be told about this?
Thank you for your time
Kinda, as if the idea the meme talks about came out of nowhere, unrequested
Weird. Thanks.
It was a bad meme from the start
Got it, thanks
It’s a riff on the meme formats that go:
“No one:” represents something coming out of the blue, completely unprompted. It’s definitely getting overused, but that’s just an inevitable part of the lifecycle of a meme.
I don’t mind it being used if it makes sense, but it seems unnecessary most of the time, drawing attention away from the meme.
I’d also like to point out that almost every answer about the no one memes describes a different reasoning for what it is used.
This implies its unnecessary quality. Subjective, important placeholder.
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 hate it as much as I hate punchline images that tell you how to feel about it.

THANK YOU! It has become a pet peeve of mine. I think it’s supposed to reference “no one asked”. But if that’s the case, the meme should be
Nobody: “Hey I’d really like every music video to be shot with a fish-eye lens”.
or
Everyone:
It doesn’t make sense.
I think this is the first explanation I found searching, “no one asked”, but yea, if that’s correct, it is not super clear and is often redundant
No one
could’ve said it better.
Correct.

Huh, okay, that at least makes sense. Thank you
It implies a 0 to 100 incident, if I understanding you correctly?
