Okay, thank you for the explanation, I think I understand the structure now.

It’s a non-sequitir with an extra step, and despite the setup only making sense preceding non-sequitirs, the setup is used constantly with things people commonly talk about, are obviously popular or easy to get.

I think the knock knock setup makes sense because it very clearly sets the audience in a framework, encouraging you to inquire about the situation that you interrupt by subverting expectations via a punchline.

The no one line seems more like gilding a lily, a hat on a hat, superfluous.

It doesn’t add much to a joke or non-sequitur, it’s just pointing out that this thing from left field is from left field, while of course if the statement was from left field then you wouldn’t need to explain that it was from left field.

Weird.

I understand it better now, and I appreciate your explanation, but I’ll keep cropping these as I see them.

The no one line feels too much like a kindergartener rubbing their hands together like “I have a joke for you! My joke is a statement!”
