Читать книгу Comedy Made Easy - David Kline Lovett - Страница 16

A joke is where two stories unexpectedly clash together. One story could be the truth, and the other will be a surprise story. We have the first story (the setup) and the second story, which is the punch line.

Think of the first story as a bus going down Main Street, Your Town, USA. Everyone expects it to keep going through the downtown along Main Street. All of a sudden, without any warning or expectation, the bus takes a quick, unexpected left turn. Story one led us through town on Main Street. Suddenly the second story takes us on a sharp and sudden left turn.
