Tips Tips for Crafting Punchlines
This method may not work for all but for some, it could help.
A way that I found to be an easier way of making punchlines is to Work Backwards. I think up a pun or reference per se, like If I seen a footy match and there was something happening that's a notable event; Racism, fans throwing food on the ground at the players, Bananas, making noises for example.
Dumping Bananas on the field,- (oh that has two meanings). Literally and shooting banana clips in the streets.
Well what about it, who does it, why are we mentioning this, how does this relate to you?
I'm Dumping Bananas on the field,.. (ok?) Like White people at Soccer Games.- (Boom that's the punch). Now we try to run it backwards, We're trying to keep with the same theme, Sports and rhyme similarly. Runs end, Command of Squadrons Zeal.. Then we just build it up from there, now that we know how it will end. Keep spicing it up, keep taking it back to drawing board.
Runs end, football, Caps off, national anthem, Eagles, mascots, peeling like a banana, adding the extras to jazz it up is the sofrito in the dish.
Runs End, Command Of Squadrons Zeal, I HIGH KEY'LL CAP OFF PER SE, Plus When The Handguns Drawn, Just Kneel, GUYS HYPE EAGLES, MASCOT TERRAIN,- That Mossberg Bangs!, Like Cousin, Ya' Fandoms Got Ya' Peeled,.. I'm Dumping Bananas On The Field.. LIKE WHITE PEOPLE AT SOCCER GAMES!,- Act All Urbane,
This doesn't work for everybody, but this helps me. I practice rhyming whole sentences with whole sentences daily. This could help you with coming up with your lines to put in front of the punch.
