cool, well of course, the obvious punchlines, is a humourous play on a persons name or on any word.... it usually consists of a set up, and the the "punchline" or the joke, that finishes the line off in a clever and unexpected twist, it can be simple or complicated...

and example of a set up, is just a general phrase,

i.e. ill make you throw up blood......

you take this, and then you think... okay what "throws up blood" or what could "throw up blood"...

in general, every punch works because a word, or a phrase has two different meanings, i.e flow = rapping rhythum and can mean a river, blow it = can me blowjob / a bomb / to screw something up etc, they are simple, but you get the idea, a persons name has many potential punches i.e., my name woods... "put the heat to woods.......like a camp fire...... like a log cabin in hell (fatal i believe), so ill slice up woods, like a logg cutter" etc

the more you can find words that have more meanings, the more plays can come up with, those examples ie flow, have been used alot, and thus may be deemed played

back to the original "throw up blood".... i thought of that and then thought "okay.. what throws up blood", in this case, blood doesnt really have a double meaning, but threw up can, to be physically sick, or something throwing up something.... so wih the blood bit, i got thinking a donor... or more specifically a donor van... as it has blood inside it... so when would a donor van... have blood going up and down in it...??...

i came up with... "going over a speedbump" as this bump would cause the blood inside to go, or to be thrown up

so the punch would be

yo imma kill this cat, easy.... we all know he sucks
ill have him "throwin' up blood", like a donor van over speed bumps...

get it.... thats the general process... ill give you a few set ups, and you have a go, finishing the punches, some may be a lil played, or might be a lil forced, but that is totally fine at this stage,, there is no wrong.... only degrees of dopeness lol...

so examples of setups..

1...put the heat to ya dome...
2... make this chicken run....
3..... leave a cat with no head....
4..... leave this guy black and blue...(like is the usual start for these, as they are similie type punchlines, but its not a hard and fast rule)
5.... have this cat strugglin to breathe...
6.... this guy felt more hands...
7.... this guy spend more time on his back
8.... this guy been beaten on the job....

okay thats a start.. do these if you can.. anyone who is interested and i will critique them, give you my examples.. and we can more on to further stages...

madeye -

there ain't no chance for any ya' lines to stay chilled, dudes
I put the heat to ya' dome like Sun on Igloo homes' roofs...

exactly... this is a cool example of wordplay... though you stretched the concept a bit, simply.. "like tha sun on an igloo", would be MORE effective, as its simple and hard hitting and not being bogged down by the details, you see, and an igloo is naturally a dome shape, so no need to mention tha roof, but thats a brill start

this dude more G rated than kid's movies that promise fun...
I'll have this newb animated like DreamWorks' Chicken Run!

that is a brilliant concept, the animated is a brilliant concept i would have spun it like..

this battle'll be like that dream works movie, ill leave this rat animated (ratoutoie)

see how that provides an aditional play, not just dream works / animated, which is briliant, but then the extra, rat / snitch..... an actual rat / mouse, as the star of the dream works movie, see..?

as the original goes.. you got the idea of tha "chicken run" movie, which was the main point, so that is good shiz, both of those show brilliant potential,,, ideally when you think of a play, word it three or more times differently, working in different concepts etc, to make the play the best it can possibly be...

while the clock ticks ya' spit "tricks" n' holler at charity supporter
this guy felt more hands than a 2 dollar smorg' on ya local corner...

ill assume smorg = prostitute lol... but im not sure, if that is right... then thats cool, the play works and its funny... but again, you maybe focused on the wrong detail, going on the street corner..... maybe shorten it to... "this bitch felt more hands, than a 2 dollar whore!", simple and too the point... get it? thats good shiz tho... you def have the right ideas


direct1

i'll bring heat to ya dome like ive torched millenium way
so its like  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Dome" rel="nofollow - seein_0_2  makin ya suffocate  (the c in 02 = c02)

both those plays are very good, im not 100% on the second one... lol, but tha first one is a brillaint concept, a well known dome... and the fire / torch is simple and too the point... that is good...

i have this cat findin it hard to breathe like he bagged up in a river
the only time he spit hot shit was in a tray of kitty litter

here we have some problems, first play is good, but a little too literal....i.e "im gonna kill this guy, by stopping his heart" lol, ya see?... first one is a good line/punch.... but it aint a funny wordplay /punchline.. its just explaining what your going to do, without something clever on it...

kitty litter is a decent idea too, but you worded it wrong.. if your taking the "cat" from the inital line, then the play is good... but spit should be placed with drop, as they both mean the same, but drop allows for the double meaning, meaning to take a shit or drop a verse...

another way that could have been taken was "only time this pussy drop hot shit, is in his litter tray".... pussy = pussy/ cat lol.... drop shit , again too meanings... see how that works?...  small changes that make a big difference, to how it reads and how hard it hits.. but again good concepts, minor delivery tweaks and you'll be a beast in no time... like frankenstien in limbo..

D KING

i am not http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&safe=off&q=orbit+gum&btnG=Search+Images" rel="nofollow - orbit but i'll clean out dirt like i brush tounges
cuz I'll have this cat struggling to breath like crush lungs

okay, some problems here...the play is decent in the second line, but again, its not very clever, which is what we after. its too literal like direct one, admittedly that set up was hard, but you have to go outside the box with it.... first line the orbit / clean, but was a nice idea... but the point is dissing "i clean out dirt" isnt the most effective line, ya know.... its kinda like saying "i'll rinse you" etc..."i remove idiots" its just not a power phrase.. and tongues dont have alot of dirt on them, so the play itself doesn't make alot of sense... the orbit bit is cool..... so you have to think, whats associated with orbit..... freshness.. breath...... mouth.... rapping used the mouth...... so something like "all my spits is fresh like im chewing orbit / chewing wrigleys"..... "its like im chewing wrigleys.. all my spits is fresh" "its like im chewing orbit, everything out of my mouth is fresh"... you see... that play is cool, you had the play, but then got confused and put in a bad/ confused play.. but the conept is there... good shiz...

SwordedStylez

when i spit i'm fuckin blessed like a rasta in zion
i'll make ya 'swallow ya pride' like a cannibal lion

^ this is a nice example of a punchline... and it takes another way to do them.. instead of a set up, made up by you..... you take an exisitng phrase.... or popular sentence/phrase/quote.. and turn it around and give it a new meaning... "swallow ya pride"... meaning to retreat / be scared etc... pride = a group of lions.... swallow a pride.... "who would swallow/ eat  a group of lions"..... it just so happens SS chose cannibal lions, which makes sense and is clever... so the punch works well....

another example is... "quit while your ahead"..... thats a popular phrase.... no what quits / stops.. while its a head.....this gusy punch (forgotten who) was.... "quit while your a-head, like aborted foetuses"... which is clever and delivers a hard hitting concept

id like ya'll to come up with a few punches your selve, they just have to be simple and funny... do them in word... come with a little collection.... and we can critique them again.. pointing out good and bad points in other peoples punches will show you where you are going wrong in your own....

thank you..

1-ima reach fo tha chrome, coz im fukin bizarre
  i'll put heat to ya dome like u a dawg ina car!

LOL... thsi was pretty funny... there has been controversy, leaving dogs in cars, so this is relevant and in our culture, which makes it funny... but the dawg reference is a little obscure as it hasnt alot to do with heat/ dome.. the obvious play on heat = a gun... but not a bad start... that one may get a laugh..

2-i'll make this chickin run, like i chopped of his head
   dropped him for dead, its like his lifes lost in tha dread

this aint a punchline... tho chicken / choped off head... cud be a play.. "running around like a headless chicken" is a well known phrase.. so that could have worked..

the rest wernt punchlines as you realised lol.. but keep doing and you could do some damage..


Posted By: mcwoods

Another way to punch..... is to give words an alternate meaning, by splitting them to create a new word.. or given the same word can be spelt two different ways..... ie weighs/ways... week/weak... hoe/ho
 
or

lyracist - leer assist..... ya get it? ....

concussion - con cushion,  

any play with this will lead to an automatic play... another good exercise is to find words that split or have two different ways to spell and these will form the basis for future set ups and plays....

Date Posted: 07 July 2008 at 9:59pm
soo how do i use this...??? does this make sence?

i'll leave this con cushions to the head

in a word....no....

"ill leave this con cushions to the head"....... read that...... what part of that means anything

Ill leave this con - cushions to the head...... your gonna put a cushion to a con's head?....

i see what your gettin' at con-cushion / head... but you didnt relate them in a way that makes sense....

thats what that translates as.... in basic terms, which you should start with... the word "like" should be used... i.e

"Ill give this dude a concussion.... like tha prison laundry service"...

set up ^ ................................................punch ^

the set up makes sense, im going to hurt this guy, and you split concussion, meaning a head injury, to CON - CUSHION...... who would give con's......cushions........ the prision laundry service.... hence the punch

a few more examples

create a punch with HO's....... the double meanings being whore / and HOSE - like a water hose....

direct 1

its unorthadox da way i destroy his winnin visions
leave mad eyes fucked like sittin to close to televisions/

yeah thats money.... "leave mad eyes fucked", is a nice set up... the nthe thought has to be .... what leaves eyes fucked.... and... you got it right... sitting too close to the television is a funny concept.... see the initial set up, has you thinking... madeye, as in  your opponent and the punchline has the person thinking about eye's as in sight.. so it makes thm rethink and its clever, thats a cool punch

one tip is... you see the way you left.. "mad" in there...... it still works, but it doesnt add much..... if it had've been "watch as i leave eyes fucked, like sitting too close to the tv", it would be more funny, as your still talking about your opponent.... and the mad doesnt detract..... as people may expect the "mad" to add to the punch, which in this case it didnt.. you see..

my bars jail this boi  he only giv cons cushions for bed
im breakin his bars n give him concusion to da head

as far as this goes, its a good line, but not a really goos punch

as you gave away the concushion / concussion play in the first line, it aint as effective in the second line, but as a bar, it atleast makes sense, its a good punch, but its not a clever wordplay punch, however the break his bars could be a punch if you meant that .... bars / lines / prison bars.... if that was meant, then thats two nice plays in one which makes it more effective....

have a go at coming up with 3-4 punchlines, with different techniques, and ill critique them, and then we can move on with how i come up with them, as there are certain formulas you can use to come up with plays....

KARMA

metaphores and similies can be wordplay...

" a simile states that A is like B, a metaphor states that A is B or substitutes B for A.

According to this definition, then, "You are my sunshine" is a metaphor whereas "Your eyes are like the sun" is a simile."

wordplay is using a double meaning of a word, to give the phrase two meanings... ie

"i stand and box these fags all day, like cuban employment"

box these fags = punching homosexuals...... or packing ciggarettes

cubans are typically associated with working simple jobs and the cuban economy is known for cigars / ciggarettes

....

my bars jail this boi  he only giv cons cushions for bed
bars like in a prison hence to set up the con part of it
 
im breakin his bars n give him concusion to da head
and yeh i did mean break through his jail bails/ tryna say his bars are weak...
 
do u wanna drop a few more set ups please coz if i do my own i wont challenge myself as much lol


Posted By: mcwoods
Date Posted: 08 July 2008 at 9:09am
lol, yeah they work.. thats a good job... ehhh set ups

it would be easier and you'd get better punches with your own.... as ill explain later, its generally the punchline that can create the set up, not the other way around lol, as soon as you think of the play/ punch, the set up is the bit to make it a full punchline... but a few set ups...

this guy seen more l's....
this guy aint seen W's streaking....
leave thus guy with more broken bones
this guy will have a bloody nose

also... understand you can / and probably will need to change the set ups, these are just the set ups for punches i could use, but if you have a new idea then you will prob have to change them....as alot of these punches will contain double meaning words that can be used for other punches

this dude could be superman
have this guy breakin faster
put the steel to woods
ill fuck up karma....



Posted By: direct1
Date Posted: 08 July 2008 at 9:18am
put the steel to woods like i cut him wid jigsaws
leave him puzzled n woods crumbles like chipboard
 
i thought of steel but didnt want to use guns and then thought what cuts wood = a jigsaw
so then what do jigsaws cut wood into = puzzles and i knew i could rhyme the end with board ie wood so i was thinkin his rhymes leave u board but that doesnt hit hard at all lol then i thought of chipboard and how it breaks easily and thats how i came up with that bar.

the set up works better as a punchline actually, if u had a different set-up and that as the second bar it'd be a half decent play...

For this I'd start with cutting out the gun talk. Also it's spelt Holy. And for me this didn't even rhyme, that generally doesn't work in your favour.

This is weak, no punch at all. It has no sting. If someone said that to you in a battle would you be like "Ohhh shit! He got me there!"? Work on dissing yourself in private though as it will help with creating your punchlines. Check some of the tutorials around the site too.

This tutorial probably wasn't the best idea lol... 

@ Cal 




@ Martial C, What do you want to know? How to think them up? How to make them funny/ hard hitting etc? 

Alot of punchlines will be an exaggeration, as it is this exaggeration that generally makes a 'punchline', and gives it that funny edge. So basically to have a punch like that, its important to be as outrageous and as ludacris as possible.

I.e. Twist your neck so far around, you'll prolly' look normal

Im so far ahead of you dudes, i look in front and i see you 

(just from these two examples, you can see that the exaggerations are also contradictions, you set up with doing something, and then canceling it out with the actual 'punch', even in your example, 'kill you so fast', you don't have time to die' falls into this.)

Another point is the impossible aspect of some of them, the biggest exaggeration is obviously one that is impossible and couldn't happen, so anything like that works for these kinds of punches. 

I always liked cassidy's line, 'i put a hole in a ni99a, bigga nuff to see through'

im winding up my hooks, will my jabs is at him 
cooking custard while im crumbling his adams apple

I dunno lol, if you can be a little more specific i cud probably be more helpful.

homie your dying behind jail
if you try to get out of the cell
you won't go nowhere pimp
because i have you on lock where you can't sprint

i heard rumors that you want to be gay
and have very good same sex
but how if your alone
so perhaps find a electronic store that sales homophones

God is mysterious in many ways
but if you try to take his place
watch out money
cuz if you act like a G-O-D
the brother upstairs will flip that
making you D-O-G

without your heat you think your Hot-Dog
your kidding this is my show cuz i'm Hard-Rock
don't try to solve it
if you don't like math it's cool cuz i can be a big problem

homie if we were playing halo i'll murder you punk
cuz i'm the master cheif who's elite

yo mcwoods what do you call this type of wordplay or punchline

also i got a wallet full of tens and twenties (got it from a form)

Neither are punchlines, or wordplay imo....

Posted By: mcwoods
Date Posted: 16 October 2010 at 8:03pm
what kay said pretty much (also, what up kay?)

I would just call that a punchline, i wouldn't give it any more of a stricter definition than that, a punchline is basically a joke line, which is what that is. Again its a an exaggeration. 

and i don't understand the wallet line at all, just sounds like a big up line.

you should drop some more stuff you've written in this style (in the open mic) and people can give you feedback.
