Haha no prob! Didn't Frederik B make a reappearance not long ago?
The Kingdom as in Riget? It was pretty huge here as well (ie Norway), but I totally suck at TV and wouldn't know anything.

Felt silly having missed this one despite having heard the song dozens of times, but the pun that makes up the entire set of lyrics for the song "David Bowie" by Phish. It's just a bunch or repetitions of first "David Bowie" over and over, followed by repetitions of "UB40".
I always thought it was just a silly mindless repetition of musicians until I recently read that it was written in the run-up to Bowie's fortieth birthday.

Beetlejuice being the "ghost with the most" is a play on the phrase "host with the most" which I was unfamiliar with.

Not so much a pun I guess, but it's taken until his dying for me to make the link btw Tom Verlaine's initials and the name of his band.

After moving to Los Angeles, he became so engrossed in his band AXL that his friends suggested he call himself Axl Rose.[16][31] He legally changed his name to W. Axl Rose prior to signing his contract with Geffen Records in March 1986.

I know this isn't quite the point but I've just realised Match of the Day is a pun on catch of the day— Sophie Hall (@SophLouiseHall) March 10, 2023

It kind it has to be, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense. It’s a weekly show
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 11 March 2023 15:31 (one year ago) link
Doesn’t it go back to when they’d only show one match rather than highlights from everywhere.
― Dan Worsley, Saturday, 11 March 2023 15:35 (one year ago) link
Might still be a play on catch of the day I suppose.
― Dan Worsley, Saturday, 11 March 2023 15:36 (one year ago) link
It’s inconclusive to me.
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:01 (one year ago) link
Even if it’s a weekly show, could mean the match they chose to show on that day, or the match they think you should watch on that day as opposed to other matches you could watch elsewhere.
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:02 (one year ago) link
I guess if the three words “of the day” were not used other than in “catch of the day” then it would mean yes, it is a pun. You’ve convinced me, rabbit. I’ll look elsewhere in the city for puns.
― Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:05 (one year ago) link
Seems like sometimes people make the pun go back in the other direction and say “catch of the day” instead of “match of the day.”
