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.

A joke I hope fits into this sub

• Upvotes

A man has a brother. He works as an electrician right, but he has been trying to transition to becoming a woman. For the last 6 years he has finally achieved him goal into turning into a girl.

What is the electrician's relation to her brother?

She is his... Trans sister

(I am pretty sure this counts as a pun joke, but if not then let me know. I made it up yesterday and I am pretty proud about how it turned out because of how long it took for me to think or something no one has said before to my knowledge of course)

He asked to see mine. He was a tab letdown.

Looking for puns with several names :D

11 Upvotes

I need some cool/quirky username ideas for names. My name is Kristi.
I also have a friend who is curious too. His name is Nicolas but goes by Nico.
Thank you!

A few examples I have used for my name:
Kriskibidi (skibidi mixed with my name)
KristitheBeastie (rhymes in a way but a bit lame)

Raymond is covered with lesions

4 Upvotes

Raymond is covered with lesions. We don't know for sure who he associates with, but rumor has it that he hangs around with guys in white hoods and robes.

He enters a modern bar, and the bartender, Demetrius, asks him to leave, saying, "Nobody likes Ray's cysts."

Two dudebros, Brad and Chad, are hanging out in a park…

0 Upvotes

They spot a third bro walking towards them. Brad leans over to dap up the passing bro. But the bro doesn’t respond. He just keeps walking, barely sparing a glance in their direction. Awestruck, Brad turns to Chad.

Brad: What the hell, bro? Why’d he leave me hanging, bro?

Chad: Maybe he couldn’t clock you as a bro, bro.

Brad: (gestures to self) Even though I look like this, bro?

Chad: I guess you could say he has…
