It would not have been funny without the previous books about the Watch bringing in all of the allusions with that one simple statement.
Interesting Times would not have been as funny had I not read the previous books with Rincewind and Cohen. Also, some of Maskerade will make you go "huh?" if you didn't read about the witches before. And then Soul Music references things past that are not explained. So really, you get the most out of it if you read in published order.
