puns that you had missed

Ha I just got that one recently too.

Yeah it took me a few years that one

not seeing it

Empire claim it is a pun on 'legally bound', which is almost as weak: http://www.empireonline.com/empireblogs/words-from-the-wise/post/p1164

yeah tbh neither rly work imo

i mentioned the title when it was about to come out (i was 12) and my mom yelled at me for making an insensitive joke in her "shhh don't say that out loud!" voice and i seriously had no idea what she was talking about

the title is pretty much gibberish w/o knowing the pun tho

i mean it's legal for her to be blonde, it isn't illegal, still makes sense

I think "Legally Blonde" is actually a pretty good title, because the whole point of the movie is to satirize the idea that being a blonde cheerleader type means you're somehow "handicapped". Also, it's about a blonde who studies law, so the title also has a nice double meaning.

Tuomas gets it

Also, it's about a blonde who studies law, so the title also has a nice double meaning.

is this too long for a dn, i'm not gonna take it but someone should take it

none of that....makes any sense

I know, a blonde studying law? That's Hollywood for ya!

Also, it's about a blonde who studies law, so the title also has a nice double meaning.

oh shit

i just got it

legally .... BLONDE

that's brilliant

Luckily the anti-blonde legislation was repealed here in jolly old Britain after WWI, so a good few generations now have not lived under the yoke of low eumelanin oppression. Although it might have been interesting to have had Bleacheasies like the US

i think what you're all missing is the reese witherspoon character specialised in representing victims of lower limb injuries, so she was actually a leg ally who also happened to be blonde

Also, it's about a blonde who studies law, so the title also has a nice double meaning

It also had a sequel which didn't involve law at all, so the title has a nice double meaning.

"The Crystal Method"

You just don't get things when you're a kid

Hope Grand Funk Railroad wasn't punning on anything

grand funk railroad is what they call soul train in france

Gravity's Rainbow = GR = General Relativity?

Although maybe this isn't really I pun and I might have been told it before so I didn't really miss it.

Yeah, don't know about that. But GR was the second book Pynchon started after V, and it's about V2's.

No, it's a real scientific term. Here's an explanation from a surprising source:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2521901/Forget-Big-Bang--Rainbow-Gravity-theory-suggests-universe-NO-beginning-stretches-infinitely.html

And also, of course, the projectory of the V2 is a parabola like a rainbow because of gravity. Plus rainbows actually aren't parabolas but circles, except we can't see half of it, indicating the counter-story half of the book, the importance of subjectivity, and how Werner von Braun went from sending rockets in parabolas to sending them into circuit.

Got really surprised when I saw half of a rainbow last year, so in fact it was just a quarter of one then?
So maybe it makes up for it if I have seen several double rainbows.

That is to say I saw half a parabola because of where the rain was falling, I hadn't seen that happen before. Is it a regular thing?
But then I hadn't seen really localised rain until I moved to ireland as far as I recall. that is to say raining at one end of a street and not at the other.
This rainbow must have meant rain on one side/direction of a motorway visible on my way to the bus stop and not on the other.

none of these are puns

what do you call a quarter of an electronic rainbow?

e-bola (or e-para)

none of these are puns

these are all puns, we just haven't got them yet

the web series 'high maintenance'

The name "Paul Bearer" is a play on the term pall-bearer.

:0

ok, so i realised that (popular beat combo) Nosaj Thing is a pun on No Such Thing. but it was only last night that i realised it's jasoN backwards.

bola - soup

they didn't stop there though...

"Pulled Pork"

Dean Gulberry

Kurt Vile = Kurt Weill

Oh wait, that's apparently his birth name. nm.

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Diagon_Alley

(pulled pork not a pun, obv. more of a euphemism for masturbation that people have snuck onto every menu in the land, somehow)

wait'll you figure out "Nocturn Alley"

Diagon Alley - my 7 year old got that one before I did.

And wait till you go on the Nocturn Alley Mission.

OMG, Buckcherry. Always wondered what their stupid name was supposed to mean.

Haha, yeah that one was slow dawning on me too.

Ah, but surely that's a Spoonerism, not a pun!

If one of their singles had been called "Label: Mean", I would've gotten it in a heartbeat.

Tim Buckley, or as I prefer to call him Bum Tickley
