wordplay

Do people even like puns? The answer is a very complicated "it depends." The important thing to remember about puns and wordplay is that they can never be medium stupid. They have to be very stupid in order to be somewhat enjoyable. Luckily there are a whole lot of very stupid puns out there. Emotions happen upon the sight of Mr. Bean's face slapped over the Beastie Boys, with accompanying puns. Complex emotions. At least those emotions aren't as confusing as the ones that arise when looking at weird and awkward album covers.

Puns somehow inhabit the highest and lowest forms of humor at the same time. They're kind of like eggs. They can come in the form of fine, sought-after caviar, or they can get shot out of a chicken's ass for a dollar a dozen. There's no in between. Here are some dad jokes that go father than ever before.

Dad jokes are a source of stupid glee and pinch-faced frustration for anyone who dares face a dad. Many of us have our reservations about dumb puns to feel stupid about, but at the end of the day if they're worthy of a dad's grace, then that's a quality pun. Dad jokes have a tendency to go full dad joke.

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot like a bundle of puns to fill that wordplay hole. Other times, puns are so unwelcome that they make people feel physically uncomfortable. Wordplay is a bit of a crap shoot, and you can't know what you're getting into with dumb and clever puns to feel stupid about.

Of all the things dads contribute, some of the most memorable are slews of horribly wonderful puns in the form of devastating dad jokes. Yeah, they're kind of horrible but what sackful of puns isn't. It's best to take the decent ones with the godawful and just tip your hat to the great spirit of dads.

What can we say, sometimes people are just in the mood for puns and wordplay of all stripes. We can't say that they're very good, but the whole Keanu Reeves rhyming theme feels right. And there's definitely a respectability in the amount of effort that can go into listing dozens of puns on one theme. Kinda like this mortician on a dating app who got absolutely slammed with puns.

It's no question that puns are a sometimes food. When the human mind isn't ready for a sackful of puns to spill all over, they just become grating and horrible. But a well timed joke or an expertly dropped dad joke can turn frowns all sorts of directions. Puns are like a pizza or a baby. It's all about the delivery.

For most people, dating is about being suave and trying to subtly insinuate how much money you make. But for the rest of us, it's all about how many bone-shatteringly clever and stupid puns you can shoehorn into a short conversation. And if someone mentions that they have an out-of-the-ordinary job? All aboard the pun train, choo choo. Tinder is known to get some cheesy and stupid moments, but hey man everyone's doing their best. For fans of wordplay and cleverness, here are technically accurate moments that aren't exactly wrong.

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the most insulting compliments that they've ever received. Insulting compliments are a confusing predicament to find yourself in; on the one hand, someone just said something "nice" to you, but on the flip side, the nicety was paired with something else that pointed out how you were less than, in the person's eyes. Like, you're great, but not as good as everyone else in the room. 

Sometimes we can't tell if we love or hate puns. Depending on who you ask, they're either created by geniuses or monsters, but they can definitely be overwhelming, like this sign's pun game that is too strong. Sometimes you just need some puns to satisfy those wordplay cravings.

Many people have a love/hate relationship with puns. They're either the best thing in the world, or the worst excuse for humor you could possibly imagine. Sometimes you've gotta satiate those wordplay cravings and see some silly puns and clever jokes.

Are puns even good? Puns range from incredible to untellable and honestly it comes down to who's asking. Looking for some hard hitting comedy that really makes you rethink life and the universe? Look somewhere else. This right here is for dumb observations about how words work. For even more puns, here are some dad jokes to love and hate.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about various brutal insults that don't require the use of any swear words. We already regularly feature collections of rare insults from spicy silver tongues that made a point of not leaning on profanity to get their verbal jab across. The fact that we now have a fresh collection of people going the extra mile to not insult someone with some commonly used swear words is just what we needed. 

Sometimes puns make us feel witty and clever for getting them, other times they make us feel dumber for having had endured them. Honestly we haven't really made up our minds on if wordplay is even good or not. Here's a smattering of puns to fill that wordplay hole.
