The futuristic cheese grater era

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
- Is it like nobody asked to be told about this?
  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:
  My cashier: …
  Me: …
  “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 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.
- Is it like nobody asked to be told about this?
  Correct.
"MTV turns 30 today and we would like to thank them for 5 years of music videos."
- MTV is 42. Somehow though the 70s were only 30 years ago. These facts are simultaneously true.
It was virtual insanity.
- or was is Missy Elliot? We went a little H.A.M. on the fish eye lens back then.
  
  Busta Rhymes was the biggest offender of fisheye.
  
  Well, people did get their freak on.
- Listening to how that video was made was awesome. It's so simple and obvious when it's explained to you, even if it's not particularly obvious on its face.
  
  Oh, it feels just like it should.
- It was intergalactic planetary.
  Planetary
  Planetary
  
  I like my sugar with coffee and cream.
Actually it was more like this -
Everyone: give us freakin cool looking videos
Video industry: delivers
Virtual Insanity
Never forget what they took from us.
- feat. Timbaland
  
  Uhn. Yeah. Uhn.
I really miss old school MTV though. I feel like, for a time, bands were doing some crazy music videos that were as much works of art as the music itself.
- I do too. I remember for a short period, you'd go over to anyone's house and they'd just have MTV on a TV somewhere playing video after video.
  It was immensely popular, and it was a fun way to passively see a bunch of artists without any effort.
Puffy
- Also Missy Elliott.
  
  I think missy actually started it first and the Puffy s videos was similar
Futuristic cheese graters will be anti-gravity, and so will toasters. You'll really have a hard time keeping your breakfast and lunch down in the world of the future.
- Everything you think, do and say is in the pill you took today.
  
  In the year 2525 you won't need no wife. You can pick you sons, pick your daughters to from the bottom of a long glass tube.
Missy Elliot videos were the best
"Damn it, Jerry. We bought this computer and we sure as hell are going to use it!"
Surely that's just a present-day cheerleader with a cartoon character stuck in it.
What’s the rent on that cheese grater?
- It's a lot of cheddar
  
  Goddamnit. Take my upvote and get out
