But what does Nobody: mean? How does it relate to the second part of the meme? Why is it funny??? I’m still confused.

It is terribly worded, so it's unnecessarily confusing and unclear, but it means 'nobody says (or does) anything', thus indicating that the second action is unprompted.

Thank you. I'm getting some slightly different answers here though so I wonder if everyone even agrees on what this means.

I agree with medium gray's interpretation

Nobody followed by blank means that nobody else is saying, doing, or thinking of whatever the last subject is doing

As far as I understand it’s supposed to mean the whatever thing is uncalled for.
