No Punch Line

A teenage guy is taking a girl to a dance. First, he goes to buy her flowers, but there’s a really long line at the florist. Finally, he buys them.

Then, he goes to rent a tux, but there’s a really long line for that, too. After a few hours, he gets the tux.

That night, he picks up the girl and they go to the school for the dance. There’s a long line to get in that goes halfway around the school. A while later, they finally get in. They dance and talk for a while, then the guy gets thirsty, so he goes over to the table to get punch. There is no punch line.

Listen up, buttercup. This "joke" is anti-humor. It builds up a typical scenario, like a guy going to a dance with a girl. It makes you think there's gonna be some kinda payoff or joke at the end, like he spills the punch or something wild. But nope! It just ends with "There is no punch line." Get it? It's funny 'cause it's not funny. You probably don't get invited to parties.
