The 24 Best Celebrity Name Puns

ADVERTISEMENT

Recently, the Internet has been buzzing with a new meme trend – visual and hilariously funny puns, usually poking fun at famous peoples’ names. This all started back on September 8th, 2008 when someone uploaded a picture of Reese Witherspoon holding a spoon on the art message board b3ta. A picture next to it showed the actress with the spoon removed and a clever pun that read “Reese Withoutaspoon.”

Then, almost a year later, another celebrity name went viral; this time, it was a mirrored image of Kanye West, switching it to Kanye East. However, according to knowyourmeme the phenomena itself didn’t spread till 2012, when a Tumblr user i-am-oregonian posted a name pun with Jafar from the 1992 Disney feature film Aladdin. The post received more than 65.000 notes from February till April.

Seeing more and more famous celebrity name puns popping up every day, we couldn’t resist making a list of the best puns out there. Did we miss anything?
