Creating a Comic

I ran across this quote today, from the Zucker Brothers (of The Naked Gun, Airplane! etc.):

It’s always easier to keep people laughing than it is to get people laughing.

This is why the joke tag — the punchline after the punchline — is such a potent weapon in the comedy arsenal. For more about joke tags, see this post on the anatomy of a joke.
