gag line

A running gag line at the Capitol has been that McCarthy always dreamed of becoming a “former speaker.”

While studying journalism at New York University, he saw a flier on a bulletin board offering $5 a week for writing gag lines on behalf of the public relations man Carl Erbe.

They may be doing the same for Justice League, whose trailer involved a few gag lines, especially from Miller.

The trailer also included a few gag lines, like when Diana Prince asks what a secretary is and, after being told, says, “Where I come from we call that slavery?”

The gag line would be funnier if it didn’t reflect what many people apparently seek.
