punchline (plural punchlines)

  1. Alternative spelling of punch line
    • 2020 January 22, Stuart Jeffries, “Terry Jones obituary”, in The Guardian[1]:
      Arguably, without Jones, Monty Python’s Flying Circus (1969-74) would not have revolutionised British TV comedy. He was key in developing the show’s distinctively trippy, stream-of-consciousness format, where each surreal set-up (the Lumberjack Song, the upper-class twit of the year show, the dead parrot, or the fish-slapping dance) flowed into the next, unpunctuated by punchlines.
