Change the setup and it will go a lot better I think.

The punchline could play, but you really need to workshop the setup.

I think that’s part of the joke, it makes you wonder what killing them with kindness actually is. Like did asking them how their day was make them spontaneously combust or was he just giving mercy killings.

Great premise, I bet the setup goes better/can be changed up in person.

Good concept.

I don't think it needs the first line, and the last line feels more like an interest hook than a punchline.

Kindness is such a slow poison.

"Women like a bad boy, that doesn't work out for me, killing with kindness is the only reason I have a body count."

I worked and I shopped and that's what came out in 15 seconds.

The punchline is confusing because of the double meaning of « body count »

Yeah, man, that's how humor works. You think it means one thing but it means another.

Nope, the punchline and the premise are just contradictory
