Jokes like this usually rely on CrossesTheLineTwice, where it gets progressively funnier as the punchline is exaggerated. Compare to ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and BreadEggsMilkSquick, where all the escalation occurs in one section of the punchline, usually with the last part; also see OneTwoPunchline. Compare InflationaryDialogue, SerialEscalation and WorseWithContext.
