When trying to think up punch lines in your speeches, think of the punch line as the "problem" to solve. Then "solve" the "problem" in different ways:
- Pretend to misunderstand the point - Think of yourself as an "outsider" to the problem...what's your first though about it? Make a joke based on that misunderstanding. One comedian, finding out that they use Botox on children immediately thought of why adults use Botox: to look younger. So she said to her audience something like, "I understand that kids are starting use Botox now. What's up with that? Does every 5 year old want to look like they did when they were 3?
