What makes a turtle joke land

Most turtle jokes pull on two strings. The first is the word shell, which hides inside dozens of normal words β€” a turtle pilot becomes a shell-icopter pilot, a famous turtle is a shell-ebrity. The second is the turtle's slow pace, which everyone pictures right away. Put a shell sound or a slow gag at the end of a familiar setup and the punchline lands on its own.

That is why the question-and-answer format does the heavy lifting here. "What do you call..." and "Why did the turtle..." give the listener a beat to guess, then pay it off with a groan. Knock-knock jokes do the same thing, just with a back-and-forth.
