I always thought it was supposed to mean something like nobody said or did anything, and then _______ happened. Like the empty space after nobody was supposed to represent silence or nothingness. But even that doesn’t make sense. I’m just overanalyzing a stupid meme.
I’ll never understand the point of adding “nobody” on memes. It’s just completely unnecessary for the joke.
It’s never used right. “Nobody” is supposed to mean someone does something unprompted and that no one asked for.
But most of the time, it’s just tacked on the meme for no reason. Which…

Definitely has run its course
The stupid part is that it doesn’t even make sense, it should be Everybody: or Nobody: please do x
Or less awkwardly: “Please do x” -Nobody “I did x” -[whoever is relevant here]
For me it’s the setup of “nobody asked for this, nobody was wanting it or pushing for it but they did it anyway”.
This one is… Not a good application of it.
Edit: one of my favorites.
As someone with a lot of anxiety and needless guilt this simple one is hilarious to me.
The correct format would be:
“Beards in Clone Wars be like…”
This format often gets conflated with the “Nobody” format. Nobody is suppose to be a ridiculous response to a question no one is asking. For example:
"Nobody: How do people in the One Piece universe communicate with each other?
Oda: Giant snails with receivers on their backs!
collage of den den mushi pictures"
It’s like the setup equivalent to including “I laughed so hard at this” at the end of a screenshot.
Yeah it’s kind of like a preamble like ‘I say I say’ or ‘I was on the way to the forum when’
Nobody is the worst meme format
It means that literally nobody fucking wanted or asked for this, yet this quirky useless stuff exists.
