This one time... At band camp... I played my instrument normally, following my sheet music.
The humor in that, and likewise in the OP's joke, is the humor of the violated expectation. You expect there to be a joke, so when there basically isn't one, it's a brand of humor. In mine it's only pertinent to people that have seen American Pie or the memes from it, you expect something off the wall/obscene to follow, but instead there is the normal act to follow which violates the expectation.
It's a brand of humor that basically revolves around cognitive dissonance and self fulfilling prophecy. The joke violates the expectations of the audience, which instigates cognitive dissonance. Because the audience is primed to find things funny, watching a comedy show, they resolve the dissonance by subconsciously telling themselves it was funny, and thus they laugh. The more people begin to laugh, the more it encourages others to follow suite.
The reality is that the OP's setup is all that fails. There's not enough priming the audience to find it funny, so when it has to stand on it's own like that, it falls flat.

No need to improve anything, it's perfect that way. Sober, short, powerful.

Hello.
I once talk with a friend of mine but somehow he transformed into Cthulhu. And then, due to a lack of my knowledge of ancient languages from outer space, the conversation ended. The life on Earth as well.
Thank you, you are great audience.

So, I made that joke while watching a LoL stream you might find it lame, others might find it funny.
Once I talked with a friend.. And then the conversation ended.
What do you think? How can I improve my joke? Im going on a contest with it, so any suggestions are welcome.
