A List of One-Liners
Whether it leaves you laughing or groaning, a one-liner has to do its work quickly. For this reason, the best ones tend to use wordplay, pun or stereotypes. For example:
- Wordplay: "I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down."
- Pun: "I used to be a banker, but I lost interest."
- Stereotype: "Politicians are like nappies — they should be changed often, and for the same reason."
- Walks into a bar: "A dyslexic man walks into a bra."
Do you know some great one-liners? Please let us know. We'll add them to our list.
