I hope everyone has been doing well. There seem to be a few things we need to sort out.

1. This is a puns sub

Puns are not just any type of joke or wordplay, and not just any type of wordplay or jokes are allowed. Puns either utilize different meanings of the same word, or they utilize 2 similarly-sounding words. They are not simply dad jokes, parodies, memes, cliches/idioms, rebuses (word pictures), anagrams, spoonerisms, or other types of wordplay. Not every joke is a pun, and not every pun is funny or even intended as a joke. Also, this is not the place to post nonsense, gibberish, dating requests, random recipes, posts related to Pune (that's in India, not wordplay), or social posts.

2. Do not post the same thing multiple times in a row

If you are new, your posts will be held for review. Other times, mods will remove them. The mods are not obligated to say why they removed your posts. Just be patient and see if they will be approved within a couple of days. If not, try using modmail or at least read the rules, the wiki, and the posts that are approved, and see if what you post follows precedent.

3. For now, AI images are allowed

We know not everyone likes AI images. The mods' intention and focus are that there are puns. Any images exist to make the pun clear, not to win art awards. Nobody gets paid for posting their images on Reddit, so it isn't taking revenue from artists. If you don't like AI images, please do not complain about them or report them. That said, all other rules must apply to AI images. Posts are not to be hateful, defamatory, violating copyright/trademarks, threatening, libelous, abusive, spam, disruptive, or targeting individuals or protected groups, regardless of whether they are AI-generated.

Punny name for a chili cook off

My friend entered me into a chili competition and I have to come up with a name for it. It doesn’t have to be a creative funny name, but the sign up sheet says it’s encouraged lol

[Request] REQUEST: Help name my tape dispensers

31 Upvotes

I work in a warehouse and have been naming the tape dispensers with permanent marker in order to help keep track of them.

So far I have:

  • Sticky Martin
  • Taper Swift
  • Sello Green

I’m trying to avoid repeating puns (like Sticky Gervais or Stick James), but I’m starting to draw blanks.

Musician puns highly regarded but not necessary.

Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated.

A moth-wife was under investigation for the murder of her moth-husband, who she claims died by suicide.

10 Upvotes

The moth-wife would constantly proclaim her innocence, pestering the investigator day and night. The investigator was at his wit's end.

Eventually, the investigator found the moth-husband's suicide note, which explained that he killed himself because his moth-wife was always nagging him about everything.

"Can we trust that this is his actual suicide note?" asked the investigator's supervisor.

The investigator replied: "I can believe it. I can certainly empathize with the moth-husband."

"How do you mean?" asked the supervisor.

The investigator says: "The lady moth protest too much, methinks."
