Depending on who you ask, puns are a blessing, a curse or both at the same time. They are typically considered by many to be one of the most primitive forms of comedy, unworthy of grand titles. However, whether we like it or not, for a lot of us, puns are going to induce at least a giggle or a defensive reaction that is merely an attempt to hide the fact that the pun was a little funny. In this list, we have once again collected some of the funniest puns from the brilliant minds over at PunHub. In case you missed our original PunHub post, you can find it here. Scroll down to see some wonderful puns and consider upvoting those that infuriated you or made you laugh out loud!

Although puns don’t get much credit these days, especially if they’re written down online, they are timeless pieces of comedy that’ve been used for a very long time, and for good reason - they simply work, even though their effects can vary. Some people will appreciate a good pun, perhaps even let themselves giggle a little bit, while others will either resist the temptation to laugh or simply shut down the idea of making any more puns.
According to John Pollack - an author and certified pun-champion, puns are a form of wordplay that has more to it than meets the eye. They are not merely silly jokes middle-aged dads make, but rather quite complex tools of delivering communication the meaning of which can be multi-layered.
Puns are not something to be ashamed of, especially if you deliver them only on occasion. But if you make them too often… That’s actually okay too! Everybody has a different sense of humor, and different ways of entertaining oneself and others in terms of verbal communication. Therefore, puns are part of that communication and most definitely have their place under the sun.

If he can make a joke like that, he either doesn't need the therapist or really needs the therapist.
Anyone else click because they thought that PORNhub had released some puns?
what do people think "pun" means these days? i think for a lot of people a pun is just a short joke or something.
True story: A girl stopped me and asked if I knew what time is it, and I looked at my watch and said yes and walked away.
I remember a good one from Ye Olde Days. Converted to modern vernacular... "Doc, you've gotta help me, I got cold feet!" "So turn on a heater. That'll be a hundred bucks."
