The Best One Liners in no particular order from the past 87 Years- The criteria were based on originality, cleverness, and how the jokes inspired generations of comedians. A ‘classic one liner’ serves as a new flagship in artistic merit that completely shakes down lazy, plain, typical art and delves into deep levels of brilliance, provocation, and achieves the desired outcome of masterpiece work. In short: the audacity to be different in positive and creative ways. Ultimately it’s an acknowledgement that these jokes have managed to stand the test of time.
Time is not the only benchmark that determines a classic however, as the list does not exclude newer one-liners from the past few years because just like the older ones that have survived the test of time to remain relevant, these recent one-liners not only separate themselves from the bunch, but they do so in a unique and counter-cultural fashion. They display delicate timing and thought, the type of which is bold enough to challenge the status quo of Comedy ultimately creating new boundaries
