Good Puns

OutlawPete

I kinda like the Puns on After Hours, some posters can come up with some cracking ones.

I particularly like this one from the Child mistaking a Gun for a Wii Remote control thread:

So, do you like puns on AH?

If so, which have been your favourite ones?

Or do they bug the feck out of you and you wish people woul give it rest.

Putting up a Poll, without an "I only like the good ones option..".

I wish Sharpshooter would do more puns. She was rather good at 'em.


This is my favourite.

Out of context, it makes no sense. Actually, even in context it makes no sense.

Neither poll options suit me. Alot of people try good puns but they actually suck.

But I do love some of the good ones.

Dudess

No, hate them .. which people would stop posting them tbh.

I all puns really - good or bad, very few exceptions.

I have no opinion on this matter.

Jaysus, don't make me the poster boy.
I'll have a the pun/thanks-whore haters after me.
Haters who coincidentally are often the most boring and self righteous posters out there.

there was a thread sometime about that french soccerball player who touched the ball with his hand against ireland.

one user said somehting along the lines of

"i'm tired of this talk, i have Thierry Ennui"

Now that, my friends, is a fcuking pun.

Harsh, but kinda true.

I clicked the wrong one.

This is punny.

I pun when one comes into my head depending on what I am reading.

I like to make up my own rather than post something I saw elsewhere, that's when Puns become tedious.

I remember those days Batman, javaboy would usually come along with one of his followed by one of yours.

The thanks button was on fire.

/ those were the days my friend...:pac:

Bonito

Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I’ll show you A-flat minor.

The good pun is like glue , the sticky that holds Boards together


oh gawd ...:pac:

K-9

I love puns. Post the odd decent one and post far more shockingly bad ones, to share my pain.

ddef

All of those people out there that dont appreciate puns, go jump off a ****ing bridge and make room for more people who do.

Puntingtons disease- a terrible affliction causing the sufferer to keep making puns. You poor people.

Imagine AH without witty quips :O


It'd be quite punimaginable tbh!

Posters vocal about word-play generally have polarised opinions. Half are coated black and half are shiny white.

Rehashed spoonerisms FTW.

A bad pun is hard to swallow, even in jest.

If you like good (read: bad) puns, you should have a listen to the Dave Gorman podcasts of his radio show. The last 10mins or so is usually dedicated to 'Pun Street', where they try and get the best pun named shops they can find.

Highlights include a flower shop called 'Back to the Fuschia', a Plumbers called 'Napolean Boiler Parts' and a Carribean restaurant called 'Jamaican Me Hungry'!
:D

Were there any developments concerning the previous conference, where the chairperson was arrested for indecent exposure? There was a court case but it was held In camera.

I don't know, it was mental though and there were lots of people flashing. People got angry and attacked the string quartet who were providing the music, bloody scenes of violins were posted in the paper the next day...

I love the puns. Some are incredibly clever. My favourite one I've seen on boards, can't remember who posted it, it was in a thread about smoking:

Sure how can smoking be bad for you? It cures bacon and salmon

The best shop name I've ever heard was a tanning salon in St Andrews up in Scotland. It was called Sun Tan Drews.
