History Main / HurricaneOfPuns

* Brazilian blog/ Website/{{Tumblr}} Microcontoscos made a parody "[[http://microcontoscos.blogspot.com/2010/06/escalacao-das-selecoes-da-copa-2010.html Squads of]] UsefulNotes/TheWorldCup". Puns on the country name (Cameroon lists shrimp), the country's specialty (Chile lists Chilean wines, Japan includes "Hello Kitty, {{Haik|u}}ai, Tamagochi, Sudoku, and Wasabi"), {{Punny Name}}s sometimes based on what the country has (South Korea has "Kim Sam-Sung, Kia, Hy Un-Dai e Kun Gui-Fu") and sometimes not (Slovakia: "Swarowský, Bratislavský, Hondačívik and [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Robotnik]]"), it has everything, including phonetic puns that only work in Portuguese (Germany has "Weissfüder", which in English would be something like "Gofükurself").

** In Season 2, ''Last Life SMP'', the Southlands faction unite when they all got spyglasses and pointed it at each other's faces while going "AHA!" They kept doing this until it comes time to build their base, and Martyn LetsPlay/{{InTheLittleWood}}, renowned PungeonMaster, lets off a ton of puns around the "aha" sound, to the point where the others contemplate whether it was worth killing him to make it stop. They even make an "[[TheSwearJar Aha Jahar]]" on Day 2.

** On Day 2 of Season 4, ''Limited Life SMP'', Martyn gets back on the punning game and variously suggests naming his faction with Scott Smajor, located in a floating island above a coral reef, the "Mean Gills" (chosen in the end), the "H[[subscript:2]]Bros", "Santa's Little Kelpers" (rejected for being too festive), the "Sons of Beaches", the "Big Buoys", "[=LGBSea=]" (both content creators are queer), "the Shelldons", "Beauty and the Beach", and "the Salmen" (explicitly vetoed over a MythologyGag).
** Season 5, ''Secret Life SMP'':

*** After Martyn (yes, him again) is tricked into joining [=SmallishBeans=]' "Round Mound" cult on Day 2, they exchange puns of words rhyming with "mound".

* It happens in ''ComicBook/WhoTookTheSuperOutOfSuperman'' during a battle between Franchise/{{Superman}} and two of his foes, Mr. Mxyzptlk and ComicBook/LexLuthor. When Mxyzptlk's magic makes Superman's head vanish, Luthor quips: "Turn around and '''face''' some real trouble". After knocking them out, Superman's body return to normal, and he mutters smiling: "These super-villains are easily dealt with-- long as I '''keep my head'''."

* ''WebVideo/TheHappyVideoGameNerd'': The livestream of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqNkxS2CvZI Razor Freestyle Scooter]] eventually devolved into a hurricane of video game-related scooter puns.

* The string of comments on [[http://yuumei.deviantart.com/art/Single-Ladies-Skeleton-Study-258062496 this.]]

* Even [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&oldid=519768225#No_more_complaints_that_the_Main_Page_is_too_bird-centric can engage in that at times]].

* Episode 42 of ''WebVideo/FreemansMind'' takes place at a dam. Anyone who's seen ''Vegas Vacation'' (see Film above) can probably guess what kind of puns the dam protagonist chooses to use.
* In the ''WebVideo/KateModern'' episodes "Drive Goo" and "Arma-goo-den", Charlie, Lee and Julia are given a Creme Egg car and the job of [[ProductPlacement advertising Cadbury Creme Eggs]]. For some reason, this is the cue for a series of goo-related puns.
* ''WebVideo/TheTimeGuys'' has [[NotThatKindOfDoctor Dr. Chronos, D.D.S.]] and [[DontFearTheReaper Death]] as dueling {{Pungeon Master}}s frequently. And that's a ''pun''derstatement.

* The ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'' episode of ''WebVideo/{{Unskippable}}'' was this. They came in armed to the teeth with arm puns, and they were not afraid to {{lampshade|Hanging}} this.
* WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} brings us ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlhDAN8Dwnw&feature=related WTF Blanket 3: Awful Pun Overload]]''.

The comments to any of those videos are also great sources for puns. You'll have your hands full trying to sort through them al-OOOOOH!
* When Cheese Fails engages in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7sOnQ7Jfp8 pun duel]] on player names.
* WebVideo/JonTron during his review of the ''VideoGame/{{Bubsy}}'' series. After getting sick and tired of the series' own hurricane of puns, he finally starts making some of his own.
-->'''[=JonTron=]''': Good one, Bubsy! Hey, you wanna be a cast member on [=SatPURRday=] Night Live? I'M SURE YOU'LL MAKE THE '''MEOW'''ST OF IT!

* Barbara Dunkelman, from ''Creator/RoosterTeeth'' is a living version of this trope.
* In episode 5 of ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries'', after Kakashi is trapped in a water ball by Zabuza, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke barrage the viewer with such unbelievably lame puns, even Kakashi gets annoyed:

* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdZ_vbPUXSCg1p2nHeFad3Q Eckogen]] entire channel of ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' guides is this. He has nicknames for all the operators and catchphrases and puns for deploying them and using their skills. "Drop in the squirrel", "Deploy the ''VideoGame/{{PUBG}}'' Friying Pan"

--> Good meowning everybody and welcome back to VG Myths, the online internet video game TV show that promises there are absolutely no more cat puns.
* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'': A ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' bit has the Grumps list off various sayings punning off the term "school of hard knocks," capping off with a joke about the "school of hard socks."
* ''WebVideo/{{Unraveled}}'': The "Perfect Pokérap" fits in many Franchise/{{Pokemon}} names into the lyrics as puns, particularly during the purposefully-corny "educational rap" section.
* ''WebVideo/{{Max0r}}'': in his "Incorrect Summary of ''VideoGame/EldenRing''" videos, whenever he encounters a Grafted Scion (an enemy that has many, MANY extra arms attached to it), he starts making rapid-fire hand and arm puns before [[SelfDeprecation reminding the viewer that he is extremely hilarious and original]].
* ''WebVideo/EmpiresSMP'' Season 1: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nog0i7byfYA Ocean Tours]], being a spoof of the Ride/JungleCruise of the Disney parks, is a boat tour of various "attractions" around the Ocean Empire and its neighbours. The ShoutOut is complete with the skipper/captain, Lizzie the Ocean Queen, being a PungeonMaster who aims to make copious puns about every single stop; she even ''skips'' a stop during the tour because she couldn't think of any puns relating to it. In the musical, the episode is adapted as the song "[[PunBasedTitle Water You Thinking?]]", with its title being the first hint to the style in which the song is written.
* ''[[WebVideo/LifeSMP Secret Life SMP]]'':
** Day 1 kicks off with Grian and Mumbo Jumbo's assigned tasks being opposite each other, and Mumbo is soon able to complete his task by making one bad pun after another with Grian in relation to their items and the environment, while Grian is ''unable'' to complete his task for another while due to Mumbo laughing at every single one of the puns he makes.
** After LetsPlay/{{InTheLittleWood}} is tricked into joining [=SmallishBeans=]' "Round Mound" cult on Day 2, they exchange puns of words rhyming with "mound".

* ''Advertising/SexualViolenceWithTheBirdsAndTheBees'': While the videos have a few bird and bee puns, [[https://web.archive.org/web/20180927031924/http://breakthesilencens.ca/sites/default/files/Sexual-Violence---Movie-POSTER---Print-%28no-crop-marks%29_1200x1855.png one movie-style poster]] takes the idea and runs with it -- every credit and achievement is a pun, and it sports an [[UsefulNotes/MotionPictureAssociation MPA]]-style rating of "B" for "Buzzworthy".

* A lot of [[http://www.fark.com/ Fark.com]] threads degrade into this. In particular, there is a user by the name of [=StopArrestingMe=] who fills his brilliant {{troll}} posts with puns on a particular theme, such as [[http://www.fark.com/cgi/comments.pl?IDLink=4468598&IDComment=52205071#c52205071 this post]]. The theme of the first part is [[spoiler:bands with female frontmen (frontpersons?)]], the theme of the second part is [[spoiler:[[TheSeventies seventies]] TV shows]].

* As if being the former page image for SpellMyNameWithAnS isn't enough, Creator/HaydenPanettiere has had to put up with lots of [[{{Pun}} cracks]] about the similarity between her last name and female underwear ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gO--bgKlMQ as she says in this video]]), plus the whole [[http://www.amnh.org/our-research/hayden-planetarium Hayden Planetarium]] thing. And as for "Panettiere" being Italian for "breadmaker"...

--> ''Lastly, this chapter's name, Los, is something of a pun. In Spanish 'los' is the masculine form of the word 'those'. In German it can mean -less (as in, the suffix, like helpsLESS), off or loose (as an adjective), or “Go!” (as a command) ... Basically, Jericho was saying “go!” as well as remarking upon his loose (or, more accurately, lack thereof) morals. Though the line “Ich bin Gott...los!” can either mean “I am God. Go!”, or “I am Godless”, or even “I am free from God”, that last one possibly also meaning “I am free of morality” or “I have no morals”. Whereas the spell “Es wurde zeit...los!” can mean “It became timeless” or “It was time, go!” And finally, Jericho's remark “Ich bin los” can be interpreted to mean “I am -less” or “I am off!”, and “I am off” can further be interpreted multiples ways, either as “I'm off [to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz]” or “I'm crazy”. Basically, Jericho just made a storm of puns in only a few words. Nifty, eh?''

* Characters in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' had a habit of using a few either on purpose or unintentionally (probably the producers not realizing). Joker uses several in "The Laughing Fish", Penguin uses one or two in "Almost Got 'Im" and Riddler's episodes are littered with them, to avoid an accidental pun, to the point even characters get annoyed with them. Notably [[spoiler: after the pun "Losers ahead" (Loses a head), Batman mutters he's unsure what's worse, the traps or the puns]].

-->Define 'countryside': [[spoiler:Killing Piers Morgan]].[[note]]Piers Morgan was the editor of ''The Daily Mirror'', widely regarded as unpleasant, then he went to America to play the EvilBrit. Then he came back home.[[/note]]

* Expect a ''lot'' of wordplay on "bee" in ''VideoGame/{{APICO}}''. There's Nana ''Bee''lia telling you to "''bee'' safe", your grandpa giving you a "free''bee''" in his guidebook, etc.

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4731555/42/One-Wizarding-Summer One Wizarding Summer]]'' Harry slips [[LaxativePrank a dose of Ex-Lax]] into Sirius' after-dinner treacle tart as retaliation. At breakfast, Sirius is understandably wary.
