callback in joke to bring up new subject

For example, in a joke, you are mainly talking about football analogy, “so when each team is trying to kick some ball into some gate, this one bloke comes and say: I say we play baseball now…” And suddenly you want to bring forth another analogy, like of Anime, “in every superpower manga, the strongest one, the one the main characters get are always rules”.

This would not be coherent, as you have 80% of the joke on football, and bringing up Anime would only confuse your audience, they have to keep up to too many things.

But what you can do is to tell a joke about Anime, a relevent one on the same object, like “have you ever noticed that in every superpower show, there’s always…” or “do you know what get on my nerves. superpower shows. I’d like some superpower…”

This will prepare your audience for the topic, get them familiar with the subject, and then in the other joke you mention it briefly, they can still keep up “…that’s why superpower show writers are lazy cheating bastards”
