Most jokes consist of a punchline preceeded by a prologue, often one which juxtaposes humourously with the punchline. Hence the term punch-line.

Only telling the punchline is equates to omitting the prologue, or "build up", which preceeds the punchline.
AH! Thank you for the explanation of what the punchline is... Now can you tell me why the build up has been omitted?
