In the modern age of comedy, jokes in the form of one-liners have become an increasingly rare discipline and fewer and fewer comedians choose to focus in on such a skill.

Stand-ups like Matt Donaher not only keep the act of doing one-liners alive, but the execution is so good, it really shows off how precise the craftsmanship (structure, word economy, delivery, timing, etc.) of a joke can be.

Matt’s latest set on Conan is a great example of all of this.
