History Main / HurricaneOfPuns

* A pun delivered as the result of a product: When John Lennon recorded "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" for Music/TheBeatles' White Album, it was described as the most avant garde song John ever made. George would quip "Avant garde a clue!"

* Music/TheRutles, being a parody band, were quite fond of puns, including this batch from "The Knicker Elastic King":

** In one comic (emphasis in original):

** Sonic is actually [[PlayingWithATrope playing with this trope]]: sensing that the story was going to turn into a Hurricane of Tree Puns anyway, [[PungeonMaster Sonic]] decided to [[BreakingTheFourthWall stop the comic]] for a couple of panels just to get them all out of the way, so the reader wouldn't have to sit through any more of them.

* In a press conference during the 2004 British Grand Prix weekend, a random reporter asked [[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne Juan Pablo Montoya]] [[https://youtu.be/827OLC8pWHA?t=276 this rather amusing question, playing off of his name.]] To say that it was a "[[IncrediblyLamePun Juan of a Kind]]" is a funny {{understatement}}, to the point that Montoya camly [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere walked out of the room.]]

* Creator/ChannelFive meteorologist Sian Welby ran with this after the movie came out ("[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qslJQUMc9yA If you Luke father west, you will be seeing a glimmer of sunshine if you're Wookiee...]]"), and again with ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' ("So it's [[Comicbook/HarleyQuinn harley coin]]cidence... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1hPiJPSGgM and rain will Affleck northern Ireland and western Scotland]]").

* Chief Meteorologist [[PungeonMaster Greg Fishel]] of WRAL-TV does this on an almost nightly occurrence. As long as the news story right before him isn't drop-dead serious, he'll make a pun out of it. Without any knowledge of what the story was before he went on to the set.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', as well ''Sunshine'' and ''Galaxy'' star/shine mission names. ''A-maze-ing Emergency Exit'' and ''Eye to Eye in the Secret Room'', for example.

* In "Refuse Service", of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButt-head'', a featured video the duo provide commentary over its an unboxing video of real human skulls. They can't help but find the person speaking a little too lighthearted, and mention how if they were unboxing skulls, they'd act like the Crypt Keeper. This results in puns-a-plenty.

* In "Refuse Service", of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'', a featured video the duo provide commentary over its an unboxing video of real human skulls. They can't help but find the person speaking a little too lighthearted, and mention how if they were unboxing skulls, they'd act like the Crypt Keeper. This results in puns-a-plenty.

'''Butt-head''': Breaking news: police have just arrested a man known as "the dumbass who shows off his skulls on YouTube" killer. Neighbors said, "he seems like a serial killer, and he's got a bunch of skulls in his apartment."\\

** In another, Zebra introduces his dog, Ike, who he says can point, saw through a block of ice, and jump on a Kurdish man's head. To demonstrate, Pigs says "Ike, aim!" and Ike points. Goat points to a block of ice and says "Ice, saw!" and Ike saws through the ice. Rat points to a Kurdish fellow who appeared nearby and says "Ike, on Kurd!" There's a beat panel where Rat realizes what was just said, and the final panel is Rat standing next to Pastis, holding a shovel, and saying [[Theater/JuliusCaesar "I come to bury Pastis, not to praise him."]]

* ''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 "[[ADateWithRosiePalms school of hard socks.]]"

* ''ComicBook/DisneyKingdoms'' comic "Figment" has a literal brainstorm, musical creatures imprisoning our heroes in the "bass-ment"...Blarion, as the Straight Man, groans at these, but the rest of his cast likes to make them.

* ''LetsPlay/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 making 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.

** ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' is just as bad; the monster description for the Dark Knight is:

** Then again, [=AdventureQuest=] did it first.

Y? Why? Did you here what he said?\\

* The''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series: When one of the wizards becomes infected with Music With Rocks in ''Literature/SoulMusic'', he holds an impromptu drum session, using pots, pans, and general kitchen tools. What follows is a food-pun fest that irritates Ridcully.

* "Wet Dream" by Kip Adotta is a narrative with accompanying instrumentals and vocals telling a tale of a piscatoral relationship where virtually every line was a fish pun.
-->''Well, the place was crowded. We were packed in like sardines. They were all there to hear the Big Band sounds of Tommy Dorsel. What sole. Tommy was rocking the place with that very popular tuna "Salmon-chanted Evening," and the stage was surrounded by swarming groupers. Probably there to see the bass player.''

* The short story "[[https://web.archive.org/web/20150907011624/http://incolor.inebraska.com/mmartins/michael.pgs/wet_dream.html Wet Dream]]" is full of fish and ocean-related puns.
