Punchline

In “Django,” Dr. Schulz kills Sheriff Bill Sharp in front of locals. Dr. Schulz is encircled by a second sheriff named Tatum and his men. Schulz walks out of the saloon with his hands raised and explains that:
(a) the first sheriff was a right-wing gunman
(b) for his head was awarded
(c) Schulz is a head hunter
(d) has as evidence this WARRANT issued by Judge Allan Lubock in Texas.

In saying this, Schulz pulls warrant out of his pocket and turns it publicly. Finally, he says to Sheriff Tatum, “In other words, sheriff, you owe me $200.”

Punchline is good when the listener understands everything, but the final conclusion is so UNBELIEVABLE AND SO OBVIOUS that the listener has to follow everything again from the beginning. The only known creator who likes Tarantino in this is the author of the Gospel according to St. John, which in this respect resembles a Tarantino scenario.

An example of such a punchline is the old man’s sentence at a wedding in Cana: “Everyone gives good wine first, and only when they drink, then worse. You have kept good wine until now.” After reading this sentence, you need to trace the whole text again from the beginning, because the reader kind of understands what happened, but nevertheless it does not reach him. In the process, it is difficult.
