IDENTIFY PUNCHLINES - Which lines are meant to land? - Comedy punchlines (laughs) - Drama punchlines (impact) - Revelation punchlines (information) 2. CURRENT PLACEMENT - Where does each punchline sit in its exchange? - Beginning, middle, or end of line? - End of exchange or mid-conversation? 3. SETUP EVALUATION - Is each punchline properly set up? - What creates the expectation? - Is there sufficient pause before? 4. OPTIMIZATION PRINCIPLES - End sentences on the key word - End exchanges on the landing line - Cut anything after the punchline lands - Trust the landing (no explanation) 5. REVISED DIALOGUE - Rewrite with optimized punchline placement - Restructure setups where needed - Add or remove beats for impact 6. COMPARISON - Read both versions aloud - Note which lands better and why
