What’s the deal with punchlines?
You sit through the whole joke, waiting for that one magic word
and then it lands, and you’re like… that’s it?
It’s not a punch, it’s a gentle nudge.
Some punchlines don’t even make sense
“Why did the chicken cross the road?”
“To get to the other side.”
That’s not a joke, that’s a location update.
And comedians always pause before the punchline...
like they’re letting it marinate.
“I got on the elevator with a horse…”
(Pause...)
“And the horse said...‘wrong floor.’”
What?! What does that even mean??
