A punch line is the final part of a joke, usually the word, sentence or exchange of sentences which is intended to be funny and to provoke laughter from listeners.
For instance, in the following well-known joke:
A man walks into a bar with a duck under his arm.
The bartender asks: "Hey, where did you find the pig?"
"It's not a pig, it's a duck," the man answers.
To which the barman replies: "I was talking to the duck."
"I was talking to the duck" is the punch line: if people laugh at the joke, it's when they hear that part.
Punch lines generally derive their humor from being unexpected. "Punch line" is probably an Americanism, but the "punch" could be related to biting lines delivered by the "Punch" character in Punch and Judy shows. And also "punch line" used in other countries. In previous centuries, a joke was sometimes a "bite" or a "hit."

Is that the leash you have to use when trying to keep "punchy" from Hawaiian Punch under control while waiting for the commercial shoot?

What I'm getting seems a little stronger than a feeling.
