Or it could be that the punchline itself is stupid. — Michael Showalter

Coffeehouse audiences are the most forgiving: They really listen, which is the best part. — Kathy Griffin
Be prepared to cut your little extra lines that come after a big punchline and move on to the next joke or routine to give your set more punch and crispness.

Letting your mind play is the best way to solve problems. — Bill Watterson
