JOKE: PUNCH LINE = plot: denouement
Did you see the relationship expressed in the low-case pair is similar to that of the capital pair?
Since denouement means the events following the climax (or outcome, the end result, anticlimax...) of a plot, while punch line means the climax of a joke, "punch line" and "denouement" are totally different things and antithetic.

Hi, Well I see what you mean, and you do have an argument. I wouldn't want to say categorically that you're wrong, but I think it could be debated. To help such a debate, let's look at some definitions.

I would just look at it as:
The end of the joke is the punchline: the end of the plot is the denouement.
The end of the joke is the punchline: the end of the plot is the denouement.

Thank you two very much. I think I misunderstood the meaning of "punch line", and took for granted that anticlimax is the end result right following the climax and denouement is just the anticlimax.
