When characters are seen telling jokes to one another, we rarely get to hear the entire joke: usually we will just hear the setup or the punchline. Punchlines are often more common, as it allows us to cut to the end and see other people's reaction to the joke, whether it be rip-roaring hilarity, monocle-popping disgust or a deathly quiet.
An advantage of this over actually telling the joke is that the writer's sense of humor may not match with the viewers, leading to a different reading of the joke, when it's easier to just suggest it. It can also be a form of Getting Crap Past the Radar, hinting at filth in works that would never allow it. The punchlines or setups are often from actual jokes (usually dirty or obscure ones), so there are several stock punchlines you hear; "The Aristocrats" is a popular one. Alternatively they're intended to be as weird as possible, leaving the audience wondering what the setup/punchline could possibly be — in most of these cases, the setup/punchline never existed in the first place.
Inverted trope of Orphaned Setup, where we hear the beginning of the joke but it’s cut off before the end. Also compare and contrast Stealth Pun, where the punchline is shown by implication, letting the reader figure it out for themselves.
A subtrope of Nothing Is Funnier, as the setup is left entirely for the listener to imagine. See also Subverted Punchline, Late to the Punchline, Lost in Transmission, Noodle Implements, Faux Final Line, Forgotten Trope, And Then I Said.

Confederation of Valor: The Better Part of Valor opens with Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr telling Captain Rose, "And the moral of the story: never call a two star general a bastard to his face." The joke is a Call-Back to the closing scene of Valor's Choice, where Torin got pissed off at Major General Morris for trapping her unit in a battle the author based on Rorke's Drift in order to win the Silsviss over to the Confederation.

In the graphic novel adaptation of Mort, King Olerve the Bastard dies halfway through the punchline "...And the farmer said 'I don't know, but they're green and they taste of peppermint'." The set-up is that a farmer was trying to breed his cattle, but was having trouble getting the bull interested. So he asked the vet about it and the vet provided these pills and told him to give one to the bull. As soon as he did so, the bull jumps up, services all the cows, and runs around the field looking for more. The next day, the farmer is telling his friends about this, and one of them asks what the pills were. And the farmer says...

In Sherlock Holmes (2009), Holmes is imprisoned, and Lestrade hurries to get him free before he has to fight off the entire penitentiary of criminals. As Lestrade arrives in the prison yard, he sees a crowd of unruly thugs gathered around Holmes... who is delivering a punchline for the joke he was telling: 'To which the barman says, "May I push in your stool?"' Having charmed the prisoners with his jokes, Holmes leaves in peace.

The use of "... and she stepped on the ball!" as an orphaned punchline is a reference to its use in Trading Places, which was in turn a reference to a scene in Auntie Mame. It's usually delivered by a high-class character to match the references.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: One of Xanthippe's preppy female friends delivers the punchline: "...and she stepped on the ball!" causing all the other preppy kids to laugh.
Billions: Chuck Rhoades' father tells it as "... and she stepped on the billiard ball!" at his gentleman's club, causing all the men in his company to laugh. It was actually a ping-pong ball in the original Auntie Mame.

Pee-wee's Playhouse: Pee-wee and Mailman Mike quote the punchline of famous old joke without telling the actual joke. In conversation, Pee-wee asks, "Would I? Would I?" He and Mike pause and smirk at each other before both saying, "Harelip! Harelip!" note A man who is self-conscious of his artificial wooden eyeball goes to a party. He's too shy to talk to any of the ladies until he sees a woman with a harelip (a cleft lip) standing by herself. He walks up and asks if she would like to dance. Overjoyed, she exclaims, "Would I? Would I?" The man turns beet red and shouts in her face, "Harelip! Harelip!"

In the first scene of a 1990 episode of The Cosby Show, Olivia calls a dial-a-joke phone service twice and hears a different joke each time. She tries to tell the first joke to Cliff but doesn't say the punchline. She gives the set-up for the second ("Two men are playing golf"), doesn't say the middle, and goes straight to the punchline ("It doesn't work unless you know how to putt!"), to Cliff's confusion.

The Scream : Hempstead's joke "...and the next day's headline read ARTIE CHOKES THREE FOR A DOLLAR AT SAFEWAY!"
This is a real joke, a rather punny one about an assassin named Artie who gets paid a dollar to kill a man's wife, strangles her in a grocery store, then has to kill others who saw the crime. The number of people killed and the name of the grocery store can vary.

In episode 3 of season 5 of the series The Expanse, Admiral Delgado tells Avasarala the setup to a joke involving a Martian, Earther and Belter going into a bar. The Martian and the Belter get the drink of their worst enemies. When he was about to tell what the Earther would order, he was cut off by the person they were supposed to meet, who then promptly asks for a bourbon (presumably of Earther origin). It's possible to read this interruption as the subtle completion of the joke, namely that while Mars and the Belt have external enemies, Earth's worst enemy is itself.

Used on Dexter, though the writers don't try to hide how dirty the joke is. Dexter walks into the bar just as Lila is telling Angel and Masuka the punchline, which is "But you fuck one little goat..."
Right after that Masuka starts telling a joke but is immediately stopped by Angel, fearing it might be inappropiate.
The setup involves a man showing a newcomer around town and pointing out all his accomplishments, none of which earned him a nickname.

Numerous examples in The Simpsons:
Chief Wiggum, reading from a book of "Truly Tasteless Jokes" (a real book by the way), concludes "And the third travelling salesman says, 'Don't look at me, I just ate all the hot buttered corn!'" This is referencing a real joke and it is unbelievably filthy. Suffice it to say it involves a bodily orifice.
"So I says to Mabel, I says...."
Helicopter flying instructor: "... so he's so busy worrying about the front rotor, he walks right into the back one. Only in this business..."
"...and that's how I got the vending machine contract for the Kremlin."
"...and then Lenny says 'As if! Don't even go there, sister!'"
A scene in one episode starts with a Sunday school teacher saying, "...and that's why God causes train wrecks."
The Simpsons Hit & Run: "...leaving the famous bearded cartoon creator incarcerated in a Peruvian jail."
Almost all Kent Brockman segments begin this way, leaving us to wonder what the start of the newsline was.

Ryan Stiles originally used this line in a similar fashion on Whose Line Is It Anyway?. Reportedly, Drew Carey saw the episode in question, and when Stiles was cast in The Drew Carey Show, Carey encouraged Stiles to use the joke again.

Heroes: Nathan Petrelli tells his campaign staff the joke that ends with "... holy cow, a talking dog!"
That one's old enough it's been used in greetings cards. There were these two racehorses in a field, discussing the fact that they keep losing. A dog stops by to give them some advice and, well, you know the rest. This is one of those jokes that should be told at great length with as much elaboration as possible.

Looney Tunes:
In the Daffy Duck cartoon "A Pest in the House", Daffy is a bellhop working in a hotel. He awakens a sleepy guest solely to tell him an apparently hilarious joke about a traveling salesman. We hear some of the beginning, and then the guest walks downstairs to complain to the manager, Elmer Fudd. By the time he gets back to his room, Daffy is almost done the joke, but can't remember the punchline. "And the salesman says... Ha ha!... the salesman says... hey, what do you know, I forgot what the salesman did say. But... Ha ha!... It was a riot!"
"Norman Normal" features a drunk at a cocktail party trying to tell Norman a joke about "a travelling salesman and an Eskimo". Norman doesn't approve of jokes about "racial minorities", so he tunes the guy out, and we only hear a bit of the beginning, a few vague snippets, and the very end: "Just before the icicle breaks, he screams out 'That was no walrus, that was your wife!'"

The Sandman, "The Sound of Her Wings": In a flashback to Morpheus' first meeting with Hob, in a tavern in 1389, a man in the background tells a joke that ends with the punchline, "Hunting for rabbits again, friar?" A man in the pub in 1989 tells what sounds like the same joke only with a vicar. In both cases most of the set-up is not heard.

The trope was lampshaded by Community, as the show often does with comedy tropes. The penultimate scene in the episode "Modern Espionage" opens with Abed delivering the punchline "and the giraffe says "Hello? I'm in the room!" and then apologizing for not knowing the rest of the joke.

Shakespeare's Hamlet has an idiom for which the origin is lost though the meaning may be discernible from context. This may have been the punchline to some obscure joke the audience would have understood back in his time:
Alternate interpretations include the "handsaw" originally being a "heron-shaw", another sort of bird or the "hawk" being the mortarboard used in plastering.
In a real-world context, anytime someone unironically quotes, "Brevity is the soul of wit," as useful advice. That quote is uttered by the least brief, least witty character in the play, and is supposed to be a joke in the middle of a rambling, tautology-filled speech.

In the closing sequence of the Hawaii Five-0 episode "Kuka'awale" ("Stakeout"), an old lady finishes a joke: "She says 'what's she got that I haven't got?' and he says 'Parkinson's'." It gets a laugh from the Five-0 crew and Chin Ho calls her a dirty old lady. He's right, as that's an actual joke, and a dirty one at that. The lady with Parkinson's gives better hand jobs on account of her condition.

A small scene towards the end of When Harry Met Sally... opens at the New Year's Eve party before Harry shows up, and Sally has been buttonholed by a stranger who's been trying to tell her a joke. The punchline is "And then the nun says, 'Read the card!'" Sally is not amused. Given that the joke in question is about a nun pursuing a crush on her gynecologist by inserting a bouquet of flowers into an uncomfortable place, one can scarcely blame her.

A minor character tracks down the protagonist in Trois Couleurs, Bleu to return her necklace taken from the car crash at the start of the movie. In return he asks her to explain her husband's dying words to him "Essayez de tousser, maintenant" (try to cough now). She explains that it was the punchline to a joke he'd been telling about a woman who goes to see a doctor about a chronic cough and is given a powerful laxative.

A variation from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, "Sweet Stench of Success": Bloo is trying to communicate to the audience of his TV show that the producer is evil. In one skit, he and an actor go through a series of "Doctor, doctor!" jokes, but Bloo replaces one of the setup lines with "Doctor, doctor, Kip the producer is keeping me locked in a cage!" The other actor responds with the punchline of the original joke ("I guess you're two tents!"), which has become a complete non sequitur.

In three of the Leisure Suit Larry games (Leisure Suit Larry 1: In the Land of the Lounge Lizards, Leisure Suit Larry 2: Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places), Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out!), a Ken Williams expy says nothing but random punchlines to Larry whenever they try to talk to each other.

An episode of Animaniacs featured a Batman parody using Chicken-Boo. The villain was a guy called Punchline (obviously an amalgamation of Joker and Riddler), and his whole shtick was this trope. The one he used that stands out is "... Forget the subpoena, MY monkey doesn't DRIVE a Lexus!"
Slappy Squirrel once tells that famous old chestnut to someone on the phone: "Wrecked 'em? I freaking killed 'em!"
Another one when Slappy is hanging out with Vina Walleen, the actress who played "Bumbie's" mom:

Homicide: Life on the Street had Meldrick Lewis frequently tell the same filthy joke, of which the audience only ever got to hear the punch line: "You're not here to hunt, are you?" In one episode, his partner Kellerman only says that line, to which Lewis replies that the build-up to the punchline is the whole point.
It involves a large male grizzly bear and is, shall we say, not work safe.
The Wire and State of Play also use a variation on this punch line.

One episode of The Fairly Oddparents had Mark Chang telling a joke where all you heard was '... And Then I Said, The Aristocrats!' If you know anything about the setup for that joke, you can appreciate just how much was implied there.
Given that Mark Chang enjoys eating diapers, the above could also count as an incredibly lame pun and would wind up being an enjoyable joke on Mark's home planet.

In the Discworld novels Feet of Clay and Jingo, Nobby Nobbs tells a series of inappropriate jokes in mixed company. In neither does the reader hear anything other than the punchline "That's funny, it's never done that when I've tried it!" and a reference to "the one about the very small man with the piano". The latter is mentioned in Feet of Clay as well, and is told in its entirety on this page.
That joke also comes up in this xkcd.
Nanny Ogg's "Just twist the first thing you can grab, as the priest said to the vestal virgin." This seems to be used as the Discworld version of That's What She Said's ancestor, "... as the bishop said to the actress." A footnote tells us that, like it's real-world equivalent, a lot of people have heard that line but nobody actually knows the rest of the joke.
Nobody knows the origin of the phrase "pull the other one, it's got bells on," (in real life, it's just a play on "pulling my leg") but it's been theorized in-story to come from a long-lost joke about a particularly torture-happy ruler who tried to outlaw Morris dancing.
Also, the Feegle battlecry "Bang went sixpence!", taken from an old joke about how Scottish are cheapskates: "I wasna there more'n two hours, and bang went sixpence!" Daft Wullie actually gets a line like this in Wintersmith.

In Rumors, Lenny spontaneously comes up with one of these ("So, Mrs. Thatcher replies, 'I don't know, perhaps it's in my umbrella stand.'") to try to get 'into character' as he prepares to cover up the events happening at the party when more guests arrive.

World of Warcraft: Caretaker Alen in the Eastern Plaguelands occasionally blurts out "...And then the tauren said, "13 INCHES!"". The set-up may be known, but we can probably assume the punchline is referring to a 13-inch-long penis, possibly the Tauren's considering it's the largest playable race in the game.*

Variation in an episode of The Muppet Show: the Swedish Chef tells a joke which elicits uproarious laughter from a group of other Funny Foreigner muppets. While most of it is in Scandinavian gibberish, the last word can be recognized as "linoleum".
On another episode, Fozzie tells a supposedly hilarious joke about an electrician and a polar bear that is drowned out by a passing train and all the audience hears is "... but the wallpaper is delicious!"

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "...And that, my liege, is how we know the earth to be banana-shaped." What's funnier, he might be serious - it's certainly in character for him to think the world is shaped like a banana. Stranger still is the fact that it's not that different to Stephen Hawking's theory that the universe is saddle shaped and was written 9 years before Hawking published his own theory.

In The Big Bang Theory, we hear the end of a joke Howard tells Bernadette: "So, two years later there's another knock on the door, the guy opens it, and there on his porch is the snail, who says: What the heck was all that about?" That's not a dirty joke, though.
This joke appears in its entirety in the movie Training Day.
"Hey Leonard, your momma's research methodology is so flawed..."

The line "Rectum? Damn near kill 'im!" is the end to a quite well-known joke. It's also the story of how Hinjo in The Order of the Stick became a paladin. (Apparently it involves a class feature.)
Also from The Order of the Stick, we miss Therkla's explanation leading to the conclusion "... which is why pants should be forsaken whenever possible."
After Redcloak rounded a corner and ran right into O-Chul, who was wielding a steel rod from his prison, it was probably inevitable that the comic's discussion board would toss out this line:
And we have Haley's explanation of how Thor ended up on the Minnesota Vikings logo.
Spoofed in a bonus strip from the collection Snips, Snails, and Dragon Tales, which opens with Haley telling Belkar "—so I said, 'No, the best part of scouting ahead is when you get to open the strip with a bit of out-of-context conversation.'"

The pre-Monty Python John Cleese special, How to Irritate People, Mr. Cleese sets up a sketch about asshole airline pilots with the joke about the two beautiful blondes who were on their first trip to a nudist camp. As he starts to tell the joke, the audio cuts out, and it returns in time for the punchline: "Well, I didn't know he played the violin."

raocow sometimes does this with his video editing, as he tries to cut out boring parts for the sake of his audience. However, since he rambles near constantly, when the video resumes it often does so on a Non Sequitur. Granted, raocow's rambling often results in non-sequiturs regardless.

Some of the comics in the Exalted books have an Orphaned Punchline (Manual of Exalted Power: Sidereals and one of the Compass books). The punchline was: "So the first man says 'A lantern? If I had a lantern I'd have found my horse and ridden out of here already!'" A medieval version of an old joke involving a guy falling into a too-loose vagoo and running into someone else and commenting that it was too dark to see, but if he could find his flashlight... "A flashlight? If I had a flashlight, I could find my car keys and drive back out."

Herman's Head: As Herman discusses the Zany Scheme of an episode with Louise, she suddenly responds to his question if it's crazy by dramatically saying that it was Crazy Enough to Work, explaining to his puzzlement that there are two lines she had been dying to try, and that was one of them. The other? - "Captain - it is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinkin' palm tree overboard! That one's gonna be a little harder to work into conversation." Later in the episode Louise's voice is heard triumphantly piping up with that phrase over the din of conversation and the audience is left wondering what gave her the necessary opening.

In one Dragon magazine cartoon, one D&D character is telling another a joke about a paladin. He gets as far as that before the second character interupts to ask if the punchline is "something about his 'special mount'". He's told it isn't, it's the one where the paladin says "Oh, you meant lay on hands".

Stargate SG-1: Not really a joke, but in "Window of Opportunity", the "Groundhog Day" Loop episode, every time O'Neill is sent back in time, O'Neill is back at his bowl of cereal with Daniel Jackson saying to him "Anyways, I'm sorry, but that's the way I feel about it. What do you think?" It's also the first hint to O'Neill that something was very unusual about the situation. Exactly what Dr. Jackson was talking about was never elaborated on. Notable in that this was also an in-universe example: not only does the audience have no idea what Jackson is talking about, neither does O'Neill. O'Neill wasn't paying attention the first time, he isn't given the option in any of the subsequent loops, and he mentions that one of the irritating things about being sent back in time is constantly hearing the orphaned line.

Two from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, both told by Quark to Morn: "And the Andorian says, 'Your brother?! I thought that was your wife!'" And the other one is, "And then the Andorian says, 'That's not my antenna.'" The first one took Morn a little while to get, but then he busted out laughing; the other one was met with stony silence. It's quite likely that the first joke was the writers being extra clever; Andorians have 4 sexes, two of which look roughly male and two of which look roughly female, so if an Andorian sees two males acting like they're family it's perfectly natural, from their perspective, to assume they're married. The pilot of Deep Space Nine establishes Morn himself as quite a storyteller; we first see him just after he's told the funniest joke in the universe and everyone is laughing. Morn is quite a talker, we just never see it.

Seinfeld's "The Yada Yada" features a joke about rabbi and the farmer's daughter, where the punchline is "Those aren't mahtzah balls." and an another one about the Pope and Raquel Welch in a lifeboat, where the punchline is either "I said, pass the buoys" or "Those aren't buoys." Interestingly, Jerry tells only the beginning and end of the joke to a priest (passing over the middle with the titular conversation fudger) and the priest gets a kick out of it anyway. (Elaine's reaction to the joke earlier suggests that "buoys" is enough of an Inherently Funny Word to carry the joke by itself.)
Invoked by Jerry in "The Little Kicks". Jerry asks Kramer to pretend they're talking about something interesting, so Kramer says "So I killed the guy, and they're still looking for me."

Done often in Phineas and Ferb, like in 'The Lake Nose Monster'. Lawrence Fletcher attempts to tell the boys about his capture of a giant fish named Big Mouth Ramon, but the boys leave. Through the episode, we hear snippets of this tale.
"Leave the Busting to Us":
In "Agent Doof", Doofenshmirtz becomes an agent of O.W.C.A. (he gets away with it despite being human because he was raised by ocelots), and in one scene is telling a joke that ends with "And the duck says 'got any grapes?'" This is a Shout-Out to The Duck Song.
Lampshaded in "What'd I Miss?"

One Bloom County strip started with Opus asking Portnoy if he'd heard the latest news. The strip is then interrupted by an explanation on why Opus' nose has been subjected to Scenery Censor recently; when we get back to the strip, the joke is already in process.

In Miller's Crossing, we hear Caspar deliver the punchline of a fairly well-known joke: "He said 'Fuck him, give him a fiver.' The coffee was my idea." For those who don't know it, a housewife invites the postman in for coffee and sex, before giving him the money, because when she asked her husband what they should give the postman for Christmas..."

In Han Solo's Revenge, we see one of these ("Well, how do you think my pack-beast got knock-kneed?") when Han tells Chewbacca a joke, right when Chewie is drinking some foamy beer, so the laughing Wookiee sends suds flying everywhere. When Chewie gets irritated at this, Han points out that's how the joke was told to him, too.

Teen Titans (2003) did this a few times through Starfire. In "Final Exam", Starfire enters the show by ending a discussion with Robin about how to achieve faster-than-light travel. Technically, this was the series' first episode (not the first episode produced, but the first episode broadcast), making it her first line on the show overall. Then in the beginning of the New Teen Titans short "Burp", she has the opening line, "...and that is what happened right before the Big Bang." It seems Starfire knows quite a lot about the secrets of the universe, but the show just won't let us hear them!

New Girl: This trope is referenced and poked fun at in the season 4 episode "Par 5" (episode 20). At the beginning of a scene Nick, laughing, says "So I say to her, 'Water? I barely even know you." and Coach replies "Stop talking to me like we're in the middle of a conversation. We just sat down. I hate when you do that."

Played with on 30 Rock, where Jack has the idea to write the punchlines first, then come up with sketches to match them. ("Nuts to you, McGillicuddy!" "Who ordered the wieners?" "Beep beep ribby ribby!")
And apparently Frank actually wrote a sketch based on "beep beep ribby ribby!"

M*A*S*H:
An episode opens with Col. Potter and Father Mulcahy together in the mess tent:
The episode "Where There's a Will" featured Hawkeye having a flashback to the surgeons getting wasted at the officers' club, with Winchester completely passed out in his chair while Potter stammers "So the third cowboy — looks at the orangutan — and says to the bartender, "'I'll have what he's having.'"
At the end of "Captains Outrageous" the crew celebrate Mulcahy's long overdue promotion to captain:
Another episode has an orphaned punchline compounded by the fact that it's also altered. Potter is about to drop the punchline of a dirty joke (which the audience hasn't heard) when he sees Mulcahy standing there and quickly swaps it out for something more sanitized (seemingly ruining the joke in the process). So not only is the setup of the joke missing, but the audience also doesn't even hear the proper punchline.

ReBoot has one that you need to do a little work to notice. In an audition for Enzo's birthday party, a comedian binome tells a joke. The joke is said in binary, so the viewer has no idea what he's saying but the characters all laugh at the end. Apparently if you translate the numbers into decimals, and then into letters, you get "Take my wife, please!"

The punchline "... that's no kindergartner, that's my wife!" was a running gag on Recess; we even got some interesting characterization out of it in one episode. The episode had two separate shorts. The first ended with Principal Prickly delivering the punchline to great reception among his peers. The second short opens with his opposite number, TJ, delivering the same punchline to his own peers and getting a similar reception.

The original graphic novel of The Crow contains a scene in which one of T-Bird's henchmen is telling T-Bird a joke. He's gotten as far as "so then the hooker says" before he's interrupted, first by his own laughter and then by a shotgun blast to the head through the roof of the car. When T-Bird later attempts to escape in the same car, with the corpse still in the passenger's seat, he facetiously asks him to finish the joke.

A semi-example of this type of thing is when we hear the middle of Vernon Dursley's "Japanese golfer" joke in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which apparently some people have recognized as not the kind of joke you tell in civilized company. (Well, the punchline is "What do you mean, 'wrong hole'?", if that tells you anything...)
Let's just say it's not the kind of joke you'd tell in front of your wife, your twelve-year-old son, a prospective customer, and his wife, and leave it at that. It involves a Japanese prostitute and implied anal sex...

Used a lot in Futurama:
"And that's why they call me Honest Bender."
In the commentary, the writer explains this joke to be from a 1934 W. C. Fields gag, where the second half of the story is given as the main character having found a glass eye on a pool table, returning it to the owner, and being given the nickname "Honest John".
"The moral is, if you want it to stay sunk, tie a weight to it!"

Garrett, P.I.:
In Sweet Silver Blues, Morley pretends to be telling Garrett a joke, so he can warn him that their campsite is being watched. Garrett plays along, and fakes a big laugh "like it was the one about the bride who didn't know the bird need to be cleaned before it went in the oven". The actual joke, though evidently hilarious, is never mentioned again.
Garrett tries to tell Gilbey a joke about a troll, ogre, and barbarian walking into a bar in Faded Steel Heat, but Gilbey's heard it before and jumps straight to the punch line ("Mice are never amusing"), leaving the middle of the joke unsaid.

Psychonauts:
During a cutscene, Raz walks onscreen yelling about how "The crib wasn't even that clean!" (It was less of a joke and more of him ranting about things, but the point remains.)
A straighter example would be this line, said to Clem after Clem gets rebrained.

In Goats, a plotline deals with people defeating humourless cyborg chickens with old parlour jokes. We only ever hear the punchlines of the jokes, but the punchlines are from real jokes which you may be able to identify if you know the joke.

"Norman Normal" features a drunk at a cocktail party trying to tell Norman a joke about "a travelling salesman and an Eskimo". Norman doesn't approve of jokes about "racial minorities", so he tunes the guy out, and we only hear a bit of the beginning, a few vague snippets, and the very end: "Just before the icicle breaks, he screams out 'That was no walrus, that was your wife!'"

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", Vernon Dursleys' joke with the punchline "What do you "mean" it's the wrong hole!?" makes it into the film. It's a joke that anyone who worked in a sales office in the 1990s has probably heard, and it's in "a kids' movie". Bonus points for giving the film a sense of time and place though.

In the early years, when they did the Saturday Night Report, Chevy Chase would always start by being caught on the telephone when the News started. You heard the end of the phone conversation. "No, it's just CALLED blow, you really suck ....... Oh, gotta go."

During the first couple of CBS years, Match Game would break for a commercial, then when they returned, the audience would be in the midst of gales of laughter. Gene Rayburn would turn to us and say puckishly "We were just listening to a passage from Beethoven's Ninth symphony..." (He would eventually entreat viewers to write for tickets and see a taping to get the full brunt of what goes on during commercial breaks.)

Happens in Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Abridged. As Jotaro is about to explain how D'Arby managed to cheat against Joseph (it involved letting the sun melt a piece of chocolate), the screen cuts to a still of Rule 63 Jotaro and Dio. When we get back to Jotaro, he finishes with "...Intercourse".

The The Lost Years of Merlin book series has something like this. Bumblewy, the mournful jester, always asks if he can tell his Bell Riddle, but because of his reputation as a failed jester, everyone interrupts him before he can tell it. At the end of the story, when Merlin tells him to just tell it already, he realizes that he's forgotten the riddle, and that he just kept trying to tell it expecting people to interrupt him before he could.

An episode of Freaks and Geeks revolves around Sam not understanding a risqué joke that others keep telling. For most of the episode we only hear the punchline ("How do you think I rang the doorbell?") until the very end of the episode when Sam begins to tell it to his gym teacher and everything finally makes sense. "So there's this man with no arms and no legs..."

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
"The Ticket Master" sees Pinkie Pie blurting out "And Then I Said, 'Oatmeal? Are you crazy?'" after Twilight Sparkle interrupts an argument between her friends. The original subject was who should get to go as Twilight's guest to the Grand Galloping Gala, so it's safe to say Pinkie got a little off-topic...
One scene in "Sweet and Elite" has Rarity amusing some upper-class ponies with an anecdote that ends with "That's not a hat; that's a natural disaster that somehow landed atop your head!"
In "Read It And Weep", Rainbow Dash is trying to find ways to pass the time during a stay in the hospital, and at one point is seen telling jokes to her room-mate (an unfortunate pony in a full-body cast). We only hear the punchline of one: "To get to the other side!"

Men in Black. In the first film, K ends a joke with the line "But honey, this one's eating my popcorn!" The setup is probably some variation of the following: A farmer decides to go into town to see a movie along with his pet rooster. Noticing that no animals are allowed inside the cinema, he smuggles the rooster into the theater in his front overall pocket and unzips it once the lights have dimmed and the movie started so the rooster can see. The woman sitting next to him eventually notices, and nudges her husband. "I think this man is a pervert. He's got his thing out." Her husband replies, "So? It's nothing you haven't seen before." to which she says "But honey, this one's eating my popcorn!"

This is used often on Jimmy Two-Shoes, to the point of a Running Gag. They tend to be of the visual variety. It's not uncommon for the show to open a scene or introduce something to the plot via Heloise conducting some kind of sadistic experiment on some unfortunate demon (usually Beezy).

Black Sheep (1996): A stoned Chris Farley delivers this gem. "Rectum? Damn near killed 'em!" The setup involves two bulls reminiscing about their days in the arena, and one correcting the other's grammar regarding an amusing horn placement.

Monty Python's Flying Circus. "Putting your head on the camel, paste down the edge of the sailor's uniform, until the word 'Maudling' is almost totally obscured."
Another sketch inverts it by having the participants of the sketch realize that neither knows the punchline. They go to ask the BBC executive what it was, who reads the script in his hand, laughs to himself while remarking "we could make a whole series out of that" and then tells everyone that the sketch has run too long and they need to cut to the next one.
The pre-Monty Python John Cleese special, How to Irritate People, Mr. Cleese sets up a sketch about asshole airline pilots with the joke about the two beautiful blondes who were on their first trip to a nudist camp. As he starts to tell the joke, the audio cuts out, and it returns in time for the punchline: "Well, I didn't know he played the violin."
Used in Another Monty Python Record, though not as the punchline to a joke per se.

On the final episode of Police Squad!, Frank Drebin (undercover as "Tony Da Wonderful") is performing on stage at a nightclub. We hear only the punchline of a very filthy joke: "So anyway, the guy looked up at her and he said, 'Lady, I don't think I can take sixty-seven more of those!'" The audience roars.
That one is about an inexperienced man attempting the 69 position with a partner who is suffering from flatulence.

The Sandman (1989):
The story "Men of Good Fortune" begins and ends with snippets of conversation in pubs, 600 years apart, with similarities including the punchline "... up her dress, and she says, 'Hunting for rabbits again, Vicar?'" ("friar" in the medieval version). In the one-shot Sandman Midnight Theater a party scene includes what seems to be the middle of the same joke: "...so — no, this is funny — the farmer says, 'Vicar, I'll not say another word about the poaching, if only you'll tell me how you caught all those rabbits'..."
The "Season of Mists" arc has Thor's joke resulting in the punchline, "You're Thor? I'm tho thore I can hardly pith!" It gets a cold reception.

Several times on South Park:
The coroner in the episode "Pinkeye": "And then the necrophiliac said, 'If this ain't a cadaver...'" They are interrupted by the zombie Kenny.
One episode featured a Democratic presidential debate between Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton being interrupted by a news report showing Britney Spears peeing on a ladybug. It cuts back just in time for Clinton to finish her remark with the words "...and spearchuckers."
"What did the breast cancer say to the Polish monkey?"
In "The Last of the Meheecans", Stan gave us: "... so then the Pope says, maybe you should go check the toilet!" Later on, Butters follows this up with: "...and then the fireman says, that won't even fit in my scrotum!"

The "To Serb with Love" episode of Happy Endings has Jane creating a joke tailored to her otherwise humorless father's specific interests of World War II, Chicago Bears, bass fishing, Chevy Chase and old-timey slide projectors. The joke is told twice, but the audience only gets the punchline each time: "... so, Mike Ditka, former Bears coach, is in a Sherman tank, and he is holding a fish, a bass, and then he says 'next slide, please.'" Her father finds it hilarious.

Homestar Runner likes this one a lot.
They even decided to play with this, by having several episodes of Strong Bad Email feature references to "DNA Evidence" until eventually releasing a cartoon explaining the whole story behind it.
It's gotten to the point where they Subverted it in "Where U Goin' 2?":
In "Road Trip", Strong Bad mentions that all road trips need to end up developing an in-joke for everyone involved, so he decides to try and make that joke BEFORE the trip even starts (the attempt he shows is "jumbo/LARGE"), effectively turning it into this.

In Least I Could Do, Rayne has made something of a catchphrase of "...and that's when I bought the horse a prostitute," as part of an account of his first date with Cyndi. Depending on the audience - and he'll say it to anybody - it can have very mixed results.
Almost always, though, it is immediately followed by the phrase "I love this guy!"
Recently inverted with the horse telling his side of the story.
Lately, it's been showing up as an Orphaned Punchline in everything from webcomics to fanfiction.

In an episode of Firefly, Wash (and the audience) come in just as Shepherd Book finishes telling an anecdote that has the rest of the crew in hysterics: "No! There wasn't one among the brethren had the heart to say anything. He was so proud of it!"
Another had Mal finishing a joke with, "So the Companion says to the Shepherd, 'Well, a good goat'll do that.'"
The real (dirty) version of Mal's joke is about, strangely enough, jury selection.

It was a running gag to hear Stinky telling the end of a story about his favorite flavor of pudding at the beginning of a scene. All the audience would ever hear is "...and that's why lemon pudding is my favorite pudding." We never got to hear why.

From Family Guy:
In "Hot-Pocket Dial", they deconstruct this joke, with Lois sitting at a table with friends and saying "... And so I said something that suggests an entire hilarious backstory." Everybody laughs in response.
In one episode we enter a scene wherein people at a dinner party are telling jokes. The orphaned punchline is "... and then the French guy says 'Deodorant? What's that?'"
In the episode "E. Peterbus Unum", the US army launches a missile intended to hit the Griffin house, but it misfires and hits Quagmire's house next door. Fortunately, it doesn't explode and instead merely juts through the roof without hitting Quagmire or the random fling he's having a drink with. The only words we see exchanged:
The joke that makes Peter keep crapping his pants ends with the punchline, "...P.S.: Your vagina's in the sink!" This is a classic dirty joke about a girl who crams liver into her vagina before sex so she'll feel like a virgin.
Quagmire uses a variation in the episode where Stewie warms up to Peter. While at the bar, Quagmire is about to start a story of one of his sexy exploits but Peter covers Stewie's ears before he begins. We see Quagmire telling his anecdote and acting out the scenario and at the end, Stewie gets to hear "...and this is the hand that started all the trouble!" He then grabs Stewie's nose with the same hand and gets a very terrified reaction from Stewie.
Parodied in the episode "La Famiglia Guy" when you see Peter saying to the Dons: "And the guy says, 'Oh, I thought you were complaining about your angina.'", only for one of the dons to say "You never told us a beginning to that joke!"

An anecdote book has this trope crossing over with some auto-Bowdlerise. The guy in question was famous for telling steamy stories. Once he was asked again, but he refused due to ladies being in the room. The ladies wanted to hear things too, and suggested he might leave out the too raunchy details. "In this case one story might be told, but not much remains than: HA! A boot!"

On How I Met Your Mother, a montage of how Ted is like a dad starts with the ending to a lame joke ("Shredded tweet") and ends with the set-up ("What do you get when a bird meets a lawnmower?").
To explain away Alyson Hannigan's maternity leave, the show has Barney tell Lily a "hilarious boy joke", i.e. a dirty joke, that causes her to shun Barney for several weeks. The setup is "What's the difference between peanut butter and jam." While it's a real joke, and dirty, it's not as funny as they make it out to be. So, in this case Orphaned Setup.
In the final season, Barney has gotten so drunk that the alcohol acts as a Truth Serum. Ted and Robin use the opportunity to ask him a number of questions that they (and the audience) have been wondering about for most of the series. For a number of them we only hear Barney's answers and without knowing the context they end up as Noodle Incidents. The natural assumption is that they relate to some sexual depravity Barney committed but one incident that is actually explained in more detail was actually referring to Barney sharing a cab. It is left to the viewer's imagination what kind of question could have prompted an answer of "not while she was the Secretary of State" and whether "now while she was the Secretary of State'' referred to the same thing or something completely different.
In a flashback of Barney's sexual conquests, there's a brief shot of Madeline Albright, Bill Clinton's Secretary of State, and in another episode Barney begins an anecdote with the phrase, "So I say to her, Madeline". As far as the other "she"... well Condoleeza Rice and Hillary Clinton were also Secretary of State. Take your pick.

Wander over Yonder: Dominator delivers one in "The Night Out," and Sylvia repeats it in "The Sick Day" (worth noting: writer ND Stevenson apparently wasn't allowed to use the slightly racier punchline "Blaster? I hardly know her!"):
"The Date": "And the butcher says, 'Not on my dime!'"

Played with in a grand fashion in the Waterman internet cartoon series. One episode has a running gag that involves the titular character mistelling the same joke repeatedly, but all we hear is the mangled punchline: "Rectum? Damn near herpes!... Wait, that can't be right."

Friends:
In the episode "The One with the Apothecary Table", a scene starts with Chandler finishing a joke: "And then the farmer says, 'That's not a cow, and you're not milking!'"
In "The One with the Joke", we don't even get told the punchline; we just get Chandler and Ross trying to explain it to Joey: "You see, the doctor's a monkey. And monkeys can't write prescriptions!" We also discover, courtesy of Monica, that it is offensive to women, doctors, and monkeys.
In "The One with the Male Nanny", Monica mentions a joke Chandler told to her about "Jerry Lewis and the girl with the lazy eye."
In "The One with Chandler's Work Laugh", Monica walks over to a group of people listening to a joke being told by Chandler's boss. The joke ends with "thirty dollars father, same as in town." Which is the ending of a joke involving a priest being propositioned by several prostitutes in town.
One episode features a song example: we cut to Phoebe finishing with "and a crusty old man said 'I'll do what I can' and the rest of the rats played maracas!"

The beauty/comedy contest in episode 18 of Sgt. Frog features a few of these. This is made more obvious in Funimation's Gag Dub version, highlights of which include the punchline of the funniest joke in Keroro's repertoire ("And she gets mad when I suck my thumb!") and a reference to the infamous "Japanese golfer" joke ("What do you mean, it's the wrong hole?").

Code Lyoko's prequel "XANA Awakens" has the tail end of this joke from Odd: "And then the waiter says, 'I don't have frog's legs, that's just the way I walk!'"
Most of Odd's jokes are shown this way, like at the beginning of Season 4 episode "Double Take". His friends agree that said jokes usually aren't funny anyway.

The following punchline appears in both Babylon 5 and Crusade: "... that's not my leg, that's my airhose!" The joke, whatever it was, was always met with howls of laughter.

The Goons would often use the punchlines of filthy jokes learned during their Army service. This allowed fairly nasty gags to get past the stoic BBC censors. When listeners phoned in to complain, the Goons took the view that anyone who knew had no business complaining about it.

Night Court had, as a Running Gag, this punchline: "Twenty dollars, same as in town!" There were occasional variations like "So Anna Karenina says, 'Twenty rubles, same as in St. Petersburg.'" This one's originally about a nun.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
In the episode "The Naked Now", Data reports a limerick he had heard from somebody who had been "intoxicated" by a polywater compound: "There was a young lady from Venus / Whose body was shaped like a—" He is then interrupted by Picard.
In the teaser for "Conspiracy", cue Geordi ending a joke he's telling Data...who then more-or-less recaps the content.
In "The Outrageous Okona" episode Data starts a joke "A monk, a clone, and a Ferengi decide to go bowling together..."; it's possible that "The clown can stay..." was the punchline, which would make this an unusual case where we hear the beginning and the end of a joke, but still have no idea why it would be funny.
"Descent: Part I" opens with Data playing poker with the holographic recreations of Stephen Hawking (played by Hawking himself), Albert Einstein, and Sir Isaac Newton, and Hawking delivers this punchline:
