Two Sentence Rule

Thats gotta be the worst one i have seen so far wow. Whats the opposite of a punchline?

I think it's a reference to cyanide smelling like almonds. In particular I remember a Jodi Foster movie The little Girl who lives down the Lane where Jodi poisons a rapist. He says, "It tastes like almonds." as he drinks the tea. Jodi Foster says, "It's the almond extract." knowing it's the cyanide.

So the punchline is setup to be something about poison but gets subverted by the hand grenade.
- Theeeere u gooo. And now i look stupid :D Thank you for enlightening us!
  
  Found the clip for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bds6OYX85gA
  
  Tiny detail, its "the almond cookies"
- Oh I got the cyanide reference. Still sucks as a two-sentence horror. Would better suit the plethora of antijoke subs.
It's an anti-joke. I love it.
- For real, this is gold. Read in Norm Macdonald's voice for maximum comedic effect.
- Two go through a tunnel. Says the third to the fourth: You, I think we're five. Says the sixth: I don't get it.
Cyanide smells (and maybe tastes?) like almonds. For people aware of this there is a subversion of expectation. It isn't particularly good joke but taken satirically it's alright.
- Smells like bitter almonds, which smell like bleach.

- What's the purpose of the grenade then? He poisoned her, then blew up with a grenade. Why?
- I have tasted it
  
  it smells like it but it tastes like lye without the sodium taste
It's called an anti-joke and I found it funny. It was obviously set up that way by the poster.
- Nah turns out its actually a very smart joke, see Blue_Morpho's reply and my follow up.
Reminds me of the worst opening line contest.

She was a beautiful woman; more specifically she was the kind of beautiful woman who had an hourlong skincare routine that made her look either ethereal or like a glazed donut, depending on how attracted to her you were.
- I unironically like this
hugpoint?
How are you on 196 and unfamiliar with shitposts
naw this is gold
It's like the Bulwer-Lytton (writer known for terrible cliche writing, who people intentionally mimic in jest) of two sentence horror.
I would say the opposite of a punchline is throwing a grenade at a motherfucker
I call it non-medy
- thank you :)

Why would he slide the pin across the floor? That’s the real horror.

To advertise to her he's gonna blow himself up. She's already got the cyanide, he's still gotta make a statement

2 second horror is gonna be a gold mine when ai movie generators drop

Isn't there or wasn't there a TV series based on Two Sentence Horror already?

For the people who don't know cyanide supposedly smells or tastes like almonds.

They smell like bitter almonds, which smell very different than the sweet almonds most people are used to. https://youtu.be/WYagO-nup6c?si=E_O44PHdOrSZanX3

I thought it was arsenic.
HCN smells like ~~burnt~~ almonds. Not sure about the taste.

Edit: bitter, not burnt.
