Puns are a HIGHLY intellectual way to make somebody laugh. Most of the time, people spit in my face for making a good pun. Well, guess what! PUNS ARE GREAT! Let me show you why.
Puns are a clever joke that involves the use of advanced vocabulary and logical skills. It requires the jokester to think carefully about the combination of two or more words/letters. Here's a pun to provide an example:
What do you call a bad ant? An ANTagonist!
Most of you are wincing, but the people with a VERY high IQ are grinning. Allow me to elaborate!
The first part of the pun creates the structure of the pun. For example, this pun introduces the bad ant and also removes the confusion on whether the sentence the jokester is speaking is an actual question, a rhetorical question, or a joke. It's also implying that the jokester wishes for the person the jokester is talking to ask what a bad ant is. As you can see, this pun is already extremely complicated, and this is just the first half of the pun!
The second part is what most people refer to as the "pun." Despite this common assumption, this is known as the punch-line. The beginning part is arguably as important as the punchline. The punchline requires the introduction for it to be funny. Without it, people would be extremely confused, as all the jokester would say is,
"An ANTagonist!"
It's isn't complete, and it sounds plain stupid.
The punchline itself is where most of the thinking goes into. The jokester must come up with a way to combine the subject of the introduction into a single word/words. The jokester, in this case, is using the already existing letters A, N, and T, and replacing them with the word ant, which was introduced in the introduction. This is quite a simple pun compared to others, so you can already see how complicated things can get.
Now, the vict- er, the person hearing the pun should start putting two and two together. They'll begin contemplating the pun and realize the thought and care put into the pun, and once they finally figure it out, they LAUGH because of how silly it is!
Unlike most jokes that SIMPLETONS use, like the "YOUR MOM GAY" joke, puns take extreme amounts of skill to make, and are funny!
Hmph!
(Ay, this entry [along with all my other entries] is a joke. Don't ban me, please. Yeah.)
