What makes puns so annoying is the punner expecting to be told how clever they are.
- ainiriand 8y agoThe speaker makes the pun even if it looks irrelephant in the context of the message.
- flatfilefan 8y agoIt is fun to spin a pun. It makes us cringe to hear pun ...
- lostlogin 8y agoYou've been too slow on the draw too many times haven’t you?
- pdpi 8y agoEh. I live for the groans.
- maxerickson 8y agoYes, the failure to success scale of puns is measured in anger. A pun so awful it makes the listener angry is a grand success.
- dvtv75 8y agoI once heard someone say that the best puns cause physical pain, either with the listener groaning or the listener punching, but either way the pain is the proof of success.
- hahamrfunnyguy 8y agoMe too, it's the whole pun of it for me.
- jcoffland 8y agoIf you know other people don't like it and you do it anyway, then you're just being a dick.
- Avshalom 8y agoThe groans are not usefully distinct from being told you're clever, the groans mean the audience gets it.
