I am reading through all of these examples and most of them sound like BS. \\\"People\\\" thought \\\"Fantastic Four ripped off the Incredibles\\\"? Who really thought that? Lucky to find maybe one person out of twenty who could imagine that(something easy to do on the internet, but doesn\\\'t mean you should even consider it anything less than an extremely unpopular idea). Basically every example is like this. \\\"Many people\\\" and etc - yeah, right. Compared to the \\\"NewerThanTheyThink\\\" page, this one is a mess. (Also I get the sense people are name-dropping series just to bash them. For example: FF7 gets mentioned because it being inspired by Berserk, but since when was it called the originator of giant swords?)

In the aggregate, I have to admit I agree with you- these {{Pot Hole}}s seem to exist for the sole purpose of [[DontExplainTheJoke explaining jokes]], and the way it\'s linked implies that all puns are bad puns. Though I\'m doubtful of the success of this action, I will put it on the CutList. If SoYeah can get cut, it\'s possible that this could, too.

In the likely event that the CutList recommendation fails, I recommend you take this topic to TropeRepairShop, as this is a major action that is more likely to be given permanence with a wider, consensus-based discussion. No rogue troper has any hope of defeating the menace of IncrediblyLamePun alone.
to:
But this topic is just too big- it\\\'s not appropriate for rogue action. I recommend you take it to TropeRepairShop. I\\\'m not sure, for example, that the page here is not salvagable- most of the examples are genuinely lame puns. It\\\'s the {{Pot Hole}}s that are giving us trouble.
