marshmallow-the-vampire-slayer:Buffy the Vampire Slayer - TV Tropes: Brick JokeBrick Joke: A Brick Joke is a particular type of Chekhov’s Gun (or its variants) for which the payoff, but not necessarily the set-up, is a joke. Named after an old joke, which seems at first brush to be a pair of unrelated jokes. At the end of the first joke, a brick is tossed away, leaving the confused listener without a punchline. At the end of the second joke, the brick returns and the listener falls on the floor laughing. For bonus points, the teller can tell an actual unrelated joke in between. Sometimes, the Brick Joke structure — introducing a seemingly irrelevant feature only to return to it much later, after the audience has largely forgotten about it — can be used for drama as well as comedy. -- source link
