I've heard many say puns are the lowest form of humour, including a close friend's mother, but anyone who thinks as much has fixiated on the wrong thing. It's a classuffocation error, like saying steak is the unhealthiest type of vegetabull. Puns are like oxygen to me. They are an art. Without that art I choke. Anyone who tries to gag my puns ought to be trampled by a Belgian Blue, in the face. I don't know what their beef is, maybe they tried out at a pun meet, didn't make the cut, and can't shoulder it. Let it go. Take a deep breath. Become a vegetarian. No need to go through life choking down burnt rump when you can have a breath of fresh lettuce spun. Let us pun.

- dspillett 9y ago> I've heard many say puns are the lowest form of humour Sarcasm is said to be the lowest form of wit. Or are we considering humour and wit to be independent enough to each have their own league tables in this respect? While we are on the subject: A pun is it's own reword.
- jerf 9y agoThe 20th century considered puns the lowest form of humor. The 21st discovered a lower one: The reference. That is, the bare version of the reference in which one is simply referencing a thing that was funny before, not adding any other spin beyond "hey, wasn't that funny"? Entire movie franchises have been built on this. No puns. No joke here.
