Reverses Joke Pattern
A joke that flips the expected direction, role, meaning, or outcome. Start with an assumption the audience understands, then reverse it so the punchline lands in the opposite direction.
Examples
I trained my dog to fetch. Now he brings me bills.
I bought a smart watch. It judges me now.
I planned my day. My day declined.
I chased success. It asked for space.
I cleaned the fridge. The fridge exposed me.
I made a budget. The budget made me sad.
