Richard_W: What's the difference between this and "Pun Based Titles"? A pun is a double meaning. Is this page simply for examples that somebody thinks are cleverer? If so, surely it's very subjective as to which puns are good enough to go on this page, and which aren't?
I just added Arrested Development to the Pun Based Titles page because it seemed to have been removed but clearly fits; then I noticed it had just been moved here. But the two pages seem to me to be exactly the same...
Micah: There's a distinction worth making between titles which play off two different senses of the same word or phrase, and titles which play off two similar-sounding words or phrases. That distinction wasn't entirely clear, I think, partly because both of these pages have slightly shady histories—Double-Meaning Title never had a YKTTW while Pun Based Titles was originally supposed to be about what is now called Epunymous Title until Trope Decay set in. I'm working on clarifying it.
At the time that I removed Arrested Development from Pun Based Titles, it was because Pun Based Titles still had the Epunymous Title description, which it clearly does not fit. I think it still fits here rather than there, but I don't want to Edit War, so I'm leaving it there for now...
