I know that taste in comedy is seasonal (yes, there were a people in a time that thought vaudeville was the cat's pajamas), but has anyone ever greeted a pun with anything other than a pained sigh?
- cogman10 5y agoPuns aren't to make people laugh, the pained sigh is the point. It's schadenfreude for the person making the pun.
- sennight 5y ago> It's schadenfreude for the person making the pun. Nah, if it is a joke at their own expense then it is "self deprecating humor", something which is definitely designed to get a laugh. Humiliation fetish, maybe? Obviously nothing is funny past a certain point of deconstruction... especially if you find yourself defending the distinguishing difference of the "meta". Just stop making puns, easy.
- noduerme 5y agoIt's ones like this that make me shake my head and go "Aiaiai."
- ModernMech 5y agoWatch Bob's Burgers. The whole show is basically puns. I chuckle.
- mkaic 5y agoIdk, 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
