It really doesn't. Not punning wordplay fun anyway.

Doesn't help when it includes a pun.

I guess folk here don't like puns.

That's not a pun.

The title's pun is terrible.

PhasmaFelis | karma 11941 | avg karma 1.85 · | 2017-06-07 21:13:33

Sadly, it seems it is. And yes, it's intended as an awful pun.

People don't like puns?

pure_ambition | karma 162 | avg karma 3.31 · | 2016-12-14 15:32:42+00:00

no pun intended? what's the pun?

asimjalis | karma 1815 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2021-01-19 22:45:36+00:00

I juxt ignore the puns.

rincewind | karma 445 | avg karma 3.01 · | 2011-11-13 07:22:21

I really cannot tell if the pun was intended.

mkaic | karma 3957 | avg karma 5.85 · | 2022-03-25 18:33:07

Idk, personally I find wordplay quite punny -- though I almost always try to greet the person who made the pun, and not the pun itself (they're abstract, inanimate concepts, pretty difficult to say "hello!" to)

:P

I would say it is a bad pun.

cogman10 | karma 11442 | avg karma 3.93 · | 2022-03-25 17:12:05

Puns aren't to make people laugh, the pained sigh is the point. It's schadenfreude for the person making the pun.

fish_fan | karma 150 | avg karma 1.18 · | 2017-08-31 18:47:54+00:00

I'd call it a play on words, but it's not a pun—only a single meaning is possible here.

mywittyname | karma 16038 | avg karma 2.93 · | 2020-04-22 14:28:11

It's so agarvating when puns miss their mark.

Ensorceled | karma 11982 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2021-05-03 10:06:38+00:00

It's a pun ... a terrible, terrible pun.

tgsovlerkhgsel | karma 13631 | avg karma 4.18 · | 2023-02-18 08:20:58

I don't think ChatGPT would fill the article with puns.

osrec | karma 5622 | avg karma 3.49 · | 2019-05-17 19:39:37

Not sure, but perhaps because it's not actually a pun?! At least I still don't get it.

jMyles | karma 7191 | avg karma 2.32 · | 2019-06-26 17:55:30

I'm fine with pun threads, but this feels overdone and not funny, at least to me.

draw_down | karma 1827 | avg karma 0.27 · | 2020-02-25 14:03:57

Alliteration is not a pun
