I was in Russia listening to a stand-up comedian making fun of Putin.
The jokes weren't that good, but I liked the execution.

The joke plays on the double meaning of 'execution'. In the context of a comedian making fun of a powerful leader like Putin, 'execution' can mean both the delivery of a performance and the act of killing someone. The humor comes from the dark and unexpected twist, suggesting the comedian might have faced a deadly consequence for their jokes.
