Maybe a sort of of Brick Joke or Joke and Receive?
- Fly, robin, fly! - ...I'm trying!
Something where, in a list, something is listed, and then the item in the list right after that is tangentially related to the first one. In other words the second item gives the first one a punchline.
Here's an example from Things Mr. Welch is No Longer Allowed to Do in an RPG:
1977. If I managed to roll up a half ogre knight errant on 3d6 straight down, no gloating. 1978. Naming the half ogre Sir Loin of Beef is gloating.
Note that the two items are right next to each other in the list, and not directly related to each other but put next to each other as a joke. Somewhat related to The Noodle Incident but not really.
