Because it's not a direct meme. It's a reference. Only meme newbies with uncultured palates require direct callbacks to memes instead of light references with hints of other underlying memetic structures. It's like a well seasoned and tender steak versus one just thrown on the grill quickly. Sure, it'll still probably be good, but it has a long way to go.

That's literally the opposite of what memes are supposed to be. That's why they're called "memes." They're a very specific "cultural" identifier that causes certain reactions. Every "meme" is a reference, to reference a reference requires skill that you clearly didn't put into it. No steak can come out well when you grill it on the wood of a firepit.
