It doesn't. Some webpages have redirects that instruct you to enable javascript, disable ad blockers and disable vpn. But that makes the 'joke' fall flat.

I wonder if anyone even disables ad blockers when they see the actual message because even if I might enable js, I've never, not once, disabled ad blocker or vpn at a website's behest.
