Thats just an accent imo

Too cheap to get the jingle done in every country

Dee Dee is always right.

wish someone would put the dee dee in the kitchen sketch on youtube

Good use of the word 'dunt' in that sketch.

I was reading something about opera that mentioned Carmen and Elektra in the same sentence and it dawned on me that maybe the 2000s famous person Carmen Electra took her stage name from these operas...(?)

perhaps in a recreation of the Mrs. Doubtfire naming scene, except when she looks down at her table there is the upcoming season of the local opera co's schedule. "Ma'am, this is Playboy calling, we'd love to feature you in our May issue. What stage name will you be using?"

TIL that irl Prince discovered her!

the bookers at Playboy call all the models "ma'am" for propriety obv

"what's your name?"

*looks down at table, sees books*

"Mrs. Infinitejest"

Mrs. Infinitejest good soundcloud rapper name

Is there a thread for seeing puns where they don't exist? I keep thinking "Taylor Swift Red Poll" is some kind of bird pun.

always good to spot a redpoll in the wild

Is Beaucoup Fish a Spoonerism of fuck you bitch?

Rolling Pro Cycling Thread

memory is tricky, but I suspect I didn't get Just Shoot Me when it aired.

I just realized that Metallica's covers album Garage Inc. is a pun on their older song Damage Inc.

We don’t pronounce it like that in America tho

I didn't say it was a great pun. This is late 90s Metallica we're talking about.

NWOBHM tribute pronounciation maybe

I’m just saying it’s probably a reference not a pun

Maybe Lars pronounces it like that.

I just got an email from tech support about a problem we were having with our spreadsheets and went WAIT A MINUTE.

xp fuck me, that one was hiding in plain sight!

Okay, I see now.

I just found out a couple of days ago about a Spiritual jazz group called the John Betsch Society who put out one lp in the early 70s.
I've been trying to work out if there is another way of reading that than asa pun on John Birch Society. Like the band leader John betsch had a load of alternative group names he could have used to denote band or group or whatver . So is taht not going to be an association one is going to hear each time one hears teh name?
JOhn Birch Society being a notorious right wing group of teh time that were making a name for themselves. I think they were named aftera bent racist cop. So wondered why a Spiritual jazz group would want the association. Though trying to deflate teh opposition by naming radical groups after tehm ironically has been done a few times in different contexts. Am I misreading that?

Somebody just posted a pho0to of Mona Mur and band to FB,
JUst reminded of Alex hacke talking about her and being stuck with the double pun in her name.
I've remembered her as being the then love of Alex's life who came over the Berlin wall . Not sure if that is the correct take exactly but those are the double puns in French and then German. May have been mo9re that her life was defined in the shadow of the Berlin wall since I think she was West German when I remembered her as Eastern

She's from Hamburg.

Never dawned on me before last night that Frank Zappa's record label, Discreet, makes the R larger than the other letters to make it read Disc Reet. Which I'm sure was the jazz hipster intent.

I realized that the name one of my favorite older punk bands, Naked Raygun, is a homophone for Naked Reagan. Cannot believe I didn't put that together before.

It's also presumably a nod to the Sex Pistols.

As is Celibate Rifles, which I didn't pick up on before I saw it explained

the original band name presumably does tie in with the management being the pair behind the clothes shop Sex too dunnit?
& i think it as with several other suddenly prevalent odd word couplings has given birth to a load of different puns on the name.
& some of those share the same apparent phallic theme.
Did wonder if Tender Lugers was a variation on that too. Think they were a Brum band from the early 80s.

or possibly that everybody in the Sex Pistols hung out in Sex or worked there so presumably the name is a reference to teh shop as well as being a phallic euphemism that sounds like it comes out of like Victorian porn or something.
NOw if i could just come across a reference as to why these individuals would see themselves as Pistols. Sounds like a synonym for stalwart or defender or something though dunnit.

"oh boy, sex! that's where i'm a pistol"

lol

Sleep Vikings played SXSW in 2011

Another one, just yesterday: a friend runs an art publishing concern called Michel Obultra Editions.

Michelob Ultra Editions.

I felt like such an idiot.

That brings up the question of why they want to be associated with Michelob Ultra.

Also not a pun.

I was shocked to learn recently that Michelob Ultra now outsells Budweiser in the US. Perhaps this friend just wants to be associated with a winner.

a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings.

For Tom D.

:-)

Hmmmm

The Jam album All Mod Cons

i don't think it's a pun?

More a double entendre?

yes if by double entendre you mean a pun

Lol, what the hell is going on here.

Desperate to know what this double entendre is now.
