When my daughter was really young, she liked to watch Peep and the Big Wide World, which I very much approved of. Anyway, she eventually discovered the website, where they had little browser games that reflected the show, with voice overs from the actual characters. Joan Cusack was the narrator in the show, so was also one of voices in one of the games, in which the player matches the home to the animal. There were 9 pictures, a nest, a burrow, a pond, you get the idea. Then Cusack would ask, "Where does the bird live?" You click the nest and it says, "nest!" Where does the duck live? *click* Pond! When you got to the last one it would end by saying, "you got them all!" So my daughter is playing this on the computer while I'm nearby, not really paying attention. She gets to the last one and it's the beaver. She clicks it's home and Joan Cusack says, "Dam! You got them all!" And I'm like, wait... what??

If he'd just left off he "s" on problems it would have made sense. Snicker!
Communications consultant John Pollack, the author of ‘The Pun Also Rises,’ told The Atlantic that puns are threatening because they reveal the arbitrariness of meaning. They also show how many layers of nuance “can be packed onto a single word.”
So, the folks who dislike puns tend to want a greater level of control in life. “If you have an approach to the world that is rules-based, driven by hierarchy and threatened by irreverence, then you’re not going to like puns,” Pollack said.

Seriously though, vegans probably have great meat and way less fat in their bodies. A nicer marbling. I did a research paper on cannibalism, don't judge me!

No, no, I’m just genuinely more curious on WHY you had to do a research paper on cannibalism. Psychology student? Interest in a culture that still practises cannibalisation? Weird, niche hyperfocus interest?

On average vegans are thinner, but not every vegan is thin. And there are also overweight vegans. Fries, most crisps, soy ice cream, many sorts of cookies; there's plenty of fattening foods that are vegan.

Load More Replies... Meanwhile, Peter McGraw, the director of the University of Colorado, Boulder-based Humor Research Lab, notes that puns are benign communication violations. They subvert or threaten norms in non-harmful ways. They also require the audience to use their smarts to ‘get’ the joke.
“They can be a demonstration of wit, of cleverness. You’re relying on a person’s ability to parse language, to understand the nuances and complexities of words,” McGraw explains.

Puns are a bit of a double-edged sword, not to mention a paradox. On the one hand, they can be brilliantly sophisticated, deep, and layered, created by the most intelligent philological minds we have here on Earth. On the other hand, they can be simple, crude, and incredibly on-the-nose. So much so that they make people groan and cringe, even as they laugh.
Whatever the case might be, they require someone to know the language and enjoy wordplay intimately. They need a dash of nuance and ambiguity to work; otherwise, puns wouldn’t be puns!

How the audience will react to your puns is going to depend on everyone’s personal taste in humor. You can’t control the outcome. All you can do is post your best content on a regular basis and hope for the best. If you’re consistently providing quality, you should get noticed sooner or later.
At the end of the day, though, what matters the most is that you enjoy the type of content you create instead of focusing just on views, clicks, comments, likes, and reactions.
Us personally? We can’t get enough of puns. Though, to be fair, we sometimes overuse puns in our day-to-day conversations. (Not everything needs to be turned into a joke. It’s okay to be serious from time to time.)

Take some time to browse the group. Look at the pics. Read the comments. Get familiar with the vibe of the place before you rush to be an eager part of it.

Once you get familiar with the atmosphere of ‘Unappreciated Puns,’ you will know the type of content that’s the most popular. That way, you’ll know what not to (re)post.
Great minds think alike. And it’s very likely that somebody also saw and already posted that punny pic you found scrolling on social media. Creating or finding fresh puns is way harder than reposting something for the umpteenth time. But it’s so worth it.

The size of the group can’t be understated. The administrator and moderator team sometimes handle over a hundred posts and several thousand comments from community members every day. The team running the whole show asks everyone to focus on puns and puns alone while avoiding controversial topics, including politics.
In other words, the goal is comedy, not internet drama and opinion battles in the comments. That also means that edginess and trolling aren’t welcome.

There’s also too much of a good thing. A lot of people, especially newcomers, might be eager to show off their puntastic sense of humor, sure. But you shouldn’t be spamming the group with your awesome posts. Be patient. Give everyone the chance to share their posts.
“Please do not block the queue up with lots of posts. Please space them out. This can be considered spam by FB. Violation can result in suspension or ban,” the admins and mods warn.

When my kids were younger and I'd pull into certain parking spaces, they'd point and warn me ""The sign says 'Permit Parking Only'!!". And I'd say, "Yeah, relax, that's all I'm doing.". Or when I pulled into spaces marked "15-Minute Parking", I'd say, "Oh, no problem; we'll be here at least 15 minutes." My kids still drive with me, but they don't like it when I park.
