The punchline is that you can fill in the centre of Escher's piece by using complex analysis, and it produces a very satisfying, "obviously correct", solution.
But, as with all jokes, the punchline isn't funny at all without the setup.
The joke is that if you fill in the center, it shows the Droste effect of the image and kind of diminishes the magic of it.
