The element within the joke that makes it funny, one that someone normally figures out for his/herself, is made obvious by being verbally described by the individual.
Saying this phrase leads to mixed results. Some may be annoyed by it and feel that it ruins the joke. Others may find it humorous because the element is somewhat funny in itself.
