It has a meta punchline, in this case breaking the “rules” of this joke setup / structure and subverting expectations.
I don’t see it. The only thing that was subverted was the expectation that your setup was truthful when it was in fact a lie. But that’s just lying. Also the “punchline” is just the obvious answer once you move past the lie. So I’d say it has no punchline, which makes it an anti-joke.
Edit: OOH you’re the guy who just told me to go to hell lol
Well, that’s entirely on you. One doesn’t just causally dislike LotR.
How is it not?
Because the punchline relues on subverting expectation explicitly, not implicitly.
