I think the humor is meant to be in the juxtaposition between "reference" in media contexts (e.g. "I am your father") and "reference" in programming contexts and applying the latter context to the former one.

What does “I’m your father” mean if the movie is jaws?

I think the absurdity of that question is part of said humor. That being said, I didn't find it funny either.

I think it’s also the fact that people are sick of the “ummm achsfhrually they never said Luke I am your father, they said No, I am your father”
