Yes, it's not a pun.
― Do you like 70s hard rock with a guitar hero? (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 19:08 (seven years ago)
Oh. Okay. I assumed it was a multivalent play on both 'jahwohl' and the oft-referenced deity 'Jah' of reggae/dub fame. Never mind me.

(TBF, I'd gone the bulk of my life never thinking it was a play on anything, so perhaps we could all just agree that I'm having a hypoglycemic spell today and call it fair dos.)

It's based on John Wardle innit, so sounds like a rationalisation of a drunken slur like Inna Gadda Da Vida was In The Garden Of Eden after Doug Ingle had several bottles of wine one night. NOt a pun.

An old colleague had a cat called "fluffy dickens" because that was her boyfriend's drunken attempt to say "fucking dickhead"

Didn't realise that donkey's years was a pun on the length of donkey's ears.

Have been familiar with mall sneaker store Shoe Biz for years, thinking the name just referred to the fact that their business was selling shoes. The lame pun on show biz just now registered.

To many people, "podcast" is a hilarious perfect rhyme for "broadcast."

Comedy metal act Goblin Cock = gobblin' cock, i.e. performing oral sex on a male member (fnarr) of the species. Any species, I guess.

Visual ptihm: that the pair of eyeglasses in the logo of GREGORYS was composed of ... two coffee cups, d’oh!

I just spent 15 seconds believing that ptihm just might be the erudite Greek term for a paronomasia one had missed.

Another visual pun I had missed, forgotten about etc.: the ELO spaceship is meant to look like some kind of interstellar jukebox.
― Ask Heavy Manners (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 19 July 2019 19:43 (six years ago)
ELO spaceship always reminded me of this or vice/versa:

i thought the segway scootery-thing was pronounced 'sedge-way'
thus, pun missed

"segue" from one situation to another

Yes, but it's not very convincing is it.

not really, except that they apparently thought the product would totally transform urban transportation

Yeah, that's hardly worth it either. (xp)
Seg-ew, I thought.
― Arthur Lowe & Love (Tom D.), Monday, 22 July 2019 09:30 (six years ago)
As far as I can tell, it's homophonous with Segway (another dumb pun).
― pomenitul, Monday, 22 July 2019 09:32 (six years ago)
I am having a bit of a Monday, but I have no idea how those last three puns (not counting segue/segway) work, except maybe spa is one letter changed from sea?
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 22 July 2019 09:36 (six years ago)
I also assume it's a play on 'sea'.
As for Roger Adultery, it's mocking Roger Daltrey.

Some googling has revealed that the last verses of "The Farmer in the Dell" go:
The cat takes the ratThe cat takes the ratHi-ho, the derry-o…The cat takes the rat
The rat takes the cheeseThe rat takes the cheeseHi-ho, the derry-o…The rat takes the cheese
The cheese stands aloneThe cheese stands aloneHi-ho, the derry-o…The cheese stands alone

“T-Bone” Wolk

What's the pun in that?
― Tuomas, Monday, 5 August 2019 19:39 (six years ago)
A play on T-Bone Walker, I presume. That's not really a pun though.
― nickn, Monday, 5 August 2019 20:08 (six years ago)
No, guess not, but didn’t know what other thread to put it on.

not so much a pun as a derivation but I just realised that strewth/struth came from "God's truth"
