At its core, like most memes and humor in general, the origin is from subverting expectations. The mascot of McDonald's Mac Tonight was a suave and cool guy. With the rise of vaporwave, he came back into the collective consciousness of pop culture with this same image, accentuated by relaxing and smooth music.

And so the original meme was just having his suave and smooth image contrasted by him being a KKK member with a shitty text-to-speech voice.
Not a bad joke, if used sparingly, like a fart joke at an orchestra. But the problem people ran with that as the only aspect of his character and established a full "canon", complete with Sunman as an opponent and entire rap albums.

The line to where it was originally funny by twisting expectations had long since been removed, because now that was all that remained.
So unless you're the kind of person who just thinks saying "niggers" is worth a hearty lol, Moonman as a meme is one of the lowest-quality ones out there alongside "FUCK YEAH SEAKING". But, like most low-hanging fruit, it's easy to grab onto, and easy for people whom want to seem cool and different to parrot. So it continues to spread.

Me, I just like Big Macs.
