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

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.

woah hang on just occurred to me:
is the 80s pornstar screenname Amber Lynn a pun/homophone on that of the second wife of Henry VIII?
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 5 December 2014 21:31 (nine years ago) link
the movie title free willy is a pun made from free will.
Just caught sight of a book on free will and made this connection for the first time. Or maybe I did see it two years ago upthread but it somehow refused to permanently flick switch in my brain.

I saw the back car window sign 'Baby In Car' one day and became convinced that the 80s Manchester garage Birthday Party a likes Inca Babies was taken from it since it presumably is a sign with some proliferation.One member's since denied it but I'm not 100% convinced.

What's the pun in Ceefax?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 28 March 2015 10:48 (nine years ago) link
Well not a pun exactly since ceefax isn't a word, but I never got that it's supposed to be a rendering of "see facts"

Not a pun but I've only just noticed Duke of Wellington / Duke Ellington, is this just a coincidence?

God, never heard of the show before so was wondering what the pun actually was. Now looking it up on IMDB looks like i got the pun without having seen the show.

I figured this out when I saw the French translation of the title which is something like "50 tons de Grey", which doesn't really make any sense as a title. I mean, why not also change the guy's name in the book so that the title actually works?
― silverfish, Tuesday, 26 May 2015 17:21 (nine years ago) link
i still haven't figured out why there are 50

this Staind album (2003) actually makes sense because it has 14 tracks. I feel so bad for Aaron Lewis, though: he must have been so angry and confused when 50SoG got popular ("this kid is eating my lunch!")
