Then you might like some of these one-liners which are structured with a twist unexpected ending:
"The other night I saw a couple weaving all over the street, I said 'Honestly; get a loom'".
"Chair of the Dyslexic Society was recently given an OBE[1], he said "What's the point, I can't play the bloody thing'".
"Friend of mine had a penis extension. Now his house looks really stupid."
"The hardest part about making skimmed milk must be throwing the cows across the lake".

- netsharc 4y agoMan, comedians who just blurt out a collection of one-liners exhaust me really quickly, maybe after 3 of them I'd find them tedious... There was another guy on Mock the Week who only does one-liners, I can't stand him.

- eyelidlessness 4y agoI’d agree and I normally find the style of comedy boring… but then there was Mitch Hedberg. I don’t think most of his jokes were particularly great (though a few are very memorable!), but the way he queued and layered them was brilliant and often undermined the whole format he was using which made him laugh, which broke the fourth wall, which… well, it wasn’t a cheese grater but it ruined a sponge quite well.
- dizhn 4y agoBunch of his jokes has the audience laugh, then pause, then laugh even louder due to the layers within one joke. He was really great. (Though there are some live recordings where he bombs really bad with the same jokes. Drugs i suppose.)
