I was talking to a friend and happened to mention a Simpson’s episode where:Its a wedding, someone points a video camera at Krusty and says, “hey Krusty, be funny!” So he says “Ok, a guy walks into a bar with a 1ft tall man and a tiny piano, - oh wait, cant tell that one in front of the kids!”
I found this funny because I know the joke, and because it made me realize some punch lines are funny without the joke. Two examples I can think of are
“do you think I would have wished for a 12 inch pianist?”
the guy with no arms and no legs says “how do you think I rang the doorbell?”
Ok, some of these punchlines I’ve never heard before. Some people are going to have to put the jokes in spoiler boxes for those of use who are not familiar. I REALLY want to hear some of these jokes… if they even ARE jokes.
Kinda vague in the OP–are you looking for the punchlines to jokes you know which are funny because you know the joke, or are funny even if you don’t know the joke?
'cause I can come up with punchlines to commonly-known jokes all day long, and if somebody hasn’t heard them, they’re not going to be too funny.
“Nah, we need the eggs.”
“We haven’t heard that one before.”
“What? and leave show business?”
“Okay, but I’m only going to take out enough to win.”
:rolleyes:
The true challenge lies in coming up with a punchline that’s funny all by itself, and not because it’s a one-line joke, like “Why do they serve French Bread in Italian restaurants?”
