One essential rule: make sure the joke is the last possible thought, and don't add other words to the sentence after the joke. If you do, the audience will think that your take-off was only a setup for a bigger laugh coming up.

This is a crucial rule to keep in mind when delivering a joke. The timing and delivery are key to maximizing its impact. If you add additional words or try to explain the joke afterward, it can dilute the humor and lessen the laughter. A well-crafted joke should stand on its own, allowing the audience to appreciate it fully before moving on. By following this rule, you can ensure that your jokes land smoothly and leave a lasting impression.
