A line can contain multiple sentences. This one, for instance.
(Though yes, I broadly agree. A “one-liner” isn’t a one-line punchline to a joke that takes a paragraph to set up. Otherwise you could call Ronnie Corbett’s tales one-liners.)
They very least you would need to do for a one liner is have ONE LINE
other wise its self evidently contains lineS
That one liner is three sentences and three lines
Worse than that the punchline is crap 😉

My mate

Who knows whether the joke police will allow a one-line response given to someone else saying something but it’s very short (two words), very funny, and I found out about it the other day from the put downs thread:
