He lost his left hand, so he is going to be all right. That was so bad I couldn't help laughing.

"Don't choke on your aspirations"

I gave my friend ten puns to make him laugh,sadly no pun in ten did

Imagine being sent to the chair and the judge just tells you to “Have an electrifying time”

This was a punishing video to get through.

I've always thought a play on words in the first act that sets up an event in a later act as a Chekhov's pun. Chekhov's pun is also the name of my trivia team.

My uncle thinks all life began in the Balkans. He's a croationist.

So, you might say that this video is--------------fuck I can't think of anything.....

One of my favorites is from Shawshank Redemption when the day before his escape, Red tells Andy, "Aw, those ain't nothin' but shitty pipe dreams."

Making puns before being hung? That's some gallows humor

I love how a video about puns is packed with visual puns. Yeah I saw them Sage. I saw them...

"How can you use a pun without making people roll their eyes?" I thought that was the whole point behind a pun.

Bee Movie existed all because of the title AND NOTHING ELSE. I'm not kidding! They green-lit the film long before they even had a story to tell -_-

You almost caught me out but anyone who's studied writing knows it's Save the cat. Well punned good sir

I've always loved puns. One of my favorites from AD is: Lucille: I want you out of the house Oscar: Oh I want you everywhere

Puns are amazing, I don't understand why people think they are so great and above it all because they don't like puns; puns are top notch Especially now, where everything is simply referential. Puns are great, and can sparkle ones words But i totally agree, when they are forced it really takes the wit out of the equation and just makes them dry So I can understand when people don't like those sorts of puns

I'm amazed how you didn't mention the money in the banana stand when talking about characters being victims of ambiguous language

My brain is messed up. There's nothing left in my right brain, & nothing right in my left brain.

Did you hear about the sensative burglar? He takes things personally. 😏😁

it took me 16 years to realize Shanghai Noon was a pun

And here I am, desperately googling for a book titled "Shave the cat".

Puns are awesome. I live for them.

Archer and Bob's Burgers are the current kings of puns...

I think you've hit the nail on the head with the comment about forced puns and maybe that's the connection with the bad reputation. Perhaps society is reluctant to reward any behaviour that seems forced. From puns to political candidates, we're more comfortable (obsessed?) with perceived "naturalness" or "authenticity". Anyway, thoughtful video. Oh, what the hake...I can salmon up a few puns before I go, it's not like I'm reinventing the whale, right?

I've got this crush. He makes puns all the time. He is the center of like every pun war ever. I can't pun. Thank you for saving me from embarrassment every day.

Excuse me but I just discovered your channel and I think it's outstanding. Please keep making new content!

I appreciate the levels of puns in this: the visual puns, the puns in your script, and even your channel name "just write". Great on so many levels. 🖒

"Drop a pun into your water cooler conversation and you'll instantly become a social piranha." r/BoneAppleTea.

Pun intended. Pun unintended. Punintended.

How do you make Lady Gaga cry? You poke 'er face.

Just Write is the pundit we deserve.

wow, this video is fully pun ctuated by visual puns. Sorry, but this fact shouldn't be frowned upun.

What did King Arthur dub his overweight knight? Sir Cumference!

"The police arrested two kids, one was eating batteries and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let-off the other." "Two TV antenna got married. The wedding wasn't much, but the reception was excellent." "Did you hear about the pimp who couldn't spell? He bought a warehouse."

I usually get called a weird one for always enjoying and frequently making puns. This video was gold.

In the part where your examination of overselling a pun can rob it of its inherent comedy, it's telling the example you used had me doubled over laughing my ass off. Just the pun payoff, holding on the moment like it was the greatest mic drop of all time, the slow push-in on the face, the misguided anticipation of waiting for laughter that will never come, Sooo Good. I like your purposeful use of irony here. Oh, btw: if you need an ark to save your pet, not to name drop, but .... I Noah guy.

‘Judges punned in their judgments.’ They were just kidding.

So there were a whole fuck ton of dudes whose last words were just puns back in the day? Awesome

The way you were able to stitch your point and puns together was absolutely punderfull. Some may think it was too excessive, but I thought it was just write.

Puns are only funny when they have relation to context. Just replacing words with similar sounding words for no reason is stupid.

Hey Sage, you've been gone quite a while, where you been Hyden?

I should punish myself for looking in the comment section

This video is so full of puns, and your channel name is even a pun. It's so perfect for the video!

I came here mainly because of the video you made in response to Nerdwriter's intertexutuality argument, and I must say I'm very impressed. This was an insightful video, and I really like the way you present your ideas and all. Keep up the good work! :) Also I love that you included Arrested Development!

Puns are amazing when they are clever and subtle. They rely on your audience to be following what you are saying closely and help relate disparate ideas to each other. What people do today is just shitty comedy. Puns that require you to pause before saying them, or give everyone the "ehh" or suggesting glance are insulting to your audience and attention seeking. Puns which don't actually cleverly tie two ideas together to create a more cohesive whole are just lazy (how is renaissance and pens related? How does this relationship elevate the sentence?). In the Peter-Rock pun, this elevates the sentence because it points out the fact that Peter is a rock, and thus a stable foundation. It adds new insightful meaning to the sentence rather than just showing that you realize two words sound similar.

I won't read that book. I've heard it's tear-able.

"assidentally"... I loved it

I’m so happy someone made a video essay about arrested development

Please tell me that this channel moved somewhere else and didn't just stop. I really fell in love with this...

Gob seeing George Michael and Maeby kissing: "Oh my god, dad's gonna be crushed". Then proceeds to check his father in the basement after the living room collapsed

Wow never at all noticed the double meaning in the King’s Speech. I mean that’s incredible. Sure to a lot of people it’s obvious but it’s such a subtle piece of word play. That is fantastic

Now all I want is a time travel movie where the person from the past makes puns all the time.

that moment when the word pun is one of the harder words to pun with

My favorite pun happened on an Outside Xtra video. I forget exactly how it went, but they were discussing Assassin's Creed Origins, and Egyptian gods, and Ellen said, "Anubis would happen," for "I knew this would happen." The delivery was perfect. It was pure comedy gold.

That foreshadowing pun was pure gold

Sometimes when I want to say "for example" I'll say something such as "such as" for example.

When I make puns I don't emphasize them so that if somebody catches it it will be funnier.

Birth control is a condom missed conception. I came up with that last summer and it was basically the highlight of my year.

My favourite pun is one I came up with: I tell people that the son of Kate McGarrigle and a descendant of the inventors of the airplane had a kid together, and that to acknowledge his illustrious heritage they're calling him Wayne Wright-Wainwright. Then I say that he might be given away to be raised by Batman, in which case he'd feel compelled to take his foster father's name, which would make him Wayne Wright Wainwright-Wayne, right?

idk y but the concept of using puns as foreshadow just blew my mind.

I really enjoy your videos. Hope you upload a video soon. Happy new year! :)

Jesus did puns. Already funnier than Amy Schumer.

Puns can also be used to get the author's themes across: in Hunter x Hunter, right before Netero kills himself to detonate the bomb that was implanted in him to kill Meruem, he says that Meruem underestimated "humanity's infinite potential for evolution." However, in Japanese the specific word that was used has two meanings, that for evolution and for malice, and both applicable in this case. It's meant to highlight humanity's ability to continually grow via new advancements in technology and science but also the fact that humanity will also make new weapons to kill each other with

One absolutely astounding use of puns I saw recently was in season 4 of Bojack Horseman. The way Bojack's mom answers when talking about the "sun" when Bojack thinks she has finally remembered her "son" adds so much to the moment when she actually does. It's not just foreshadowing. It's fucking clever.

I'm always dropping puns. My friends tell me to stop but Drawn to Ice Hockey stops for pucking no one!

Do a video about the Dark Knight trilogy... Btw just discovered you yesterday and you've earned a new subscriber! Your videos are great keep it up!

a paper i really, really love is "Dangerous Doubles: Puns and Language in Shakespeare’s Hamlet"

I LOVE this post! 🤩🤩 It is said that punning is the art of taking the literal figuratively and the figurative literally.

Another movie title with subtle word play is "Cast Away" in which Tom Hanks plays a castaway who has been cast away back home. Many people don't even catch it, and I often see people write it out as "Castaway" instead of "Cast Away."

I unapologetically laugh at every pun I hear. The 🧀-ier the better. 🤣🤣🤣

My favorite pun is from Samuel Beckett's "Murphy": "Why did the waitress champagne? Because the stout porter bitter."

I respect how many puns you sneaked into the commentary

I love Steven Universe so much, he's soooo bad at puns.. like me.

A social pariah, not piranha.

And a pun without a second layer is what you might call a 'peanutbutter and jelly'-pun...

Darth Vader's pun "don't choke on your aspirations" was used as a threat. Him joking about it, only makes him appear more powerful, since he doesn't even take the power used on his victim seriously.

Puns are such an anglophone thing.

how is the King's Speech a pun?

When one of my friends beat Volvagia in the Fire Temple in Ocarina of Time, he said he'd "Let the b**** burn;" referencing Parade's song. When he then lamented that the Water Temple was next, I told him not to let it rain on his Parade.

"Buried pleasure". So many puns in this vid. Love it.

Somewhere, a certain spaghetti-loving skeleton is moaning in cringe while his pun-loving brother is laughing in delight. Just imagine the pasta-bilities.

I was totally expecting an ancient scribe in scuba gear at the subscribe card at the end

After watching this video, I see why you changed your name to Just Write. Brilliant.

that was a hell of a video about the puns , Now I can rest in peace in Heaven

Terry Pratchett is a master of including puns throughout his novels. Perfect example of how to get it right I think.

easily the best written video ive ever seen - holy mother of puns

My favourite pun is: War does not determine who is right and who is wrong. It determines who is right and who is left.

Glad to see Shakespeare mentioned in a video about puns. And reference of puns to its general definition of a word with double meaning. In that sense, I accidentally write puns all the times (don't ask how you accidentally write puns).

My math professor tried to teach me about infinity, but she just went on forever.

I was hoping - HOPING - that this video would be filed to the brim with puns. And I was not disappointed.

The Kirby right back at ya cartoon was the god of subtle puns

Ah yes, the Bob Loblaw Law Blog. You sir, are a mouthful.

Pixar made the two best puns this side of Shakespeare imo. 2nd Place: Naming the generation ship in Wall-E The Axiom. They had to know that some hard sci-fi minded fans were going to point out that the ship was not particularly realistic. Most people don’t know what “axiom” means, so just assumed that it was a pretty, futuristic nonsense name. But anyone likely to criticize the believability would recognize that they’d already considered the objections and said Just Go With It. Flattering and admonitory at the same time, only visible to the people who need to hear it, just a gorgeous pun. 1st Place (spoilers?): The ending of Toy Story 3. I don’t often like the literary device of Deus Ex Machina, BUT the little green aliens have worshipped *The Claw* since the first movie. Them getting sidetracked by the giant crane Claw was a tiny throwaway moment before the final action sequence. Then when they swoop in and rescue the other toys from their inescapable doom with very little foreshadowing, it becomes a literal (in-universe) God In The Machine enacting a God From The Machine. A subtle, meta, self aware pun *ten years* in the making. *chef’s kiss

My favorite cinema pun is the one-word triple-pun in The Chronicles of Riddick... "Skiddish"... brilliant...

I got an ad before this video about a game about peeling fruits and vegetables and it was called “i peel good”

the key is to immediately start laughing at your own pun like it was the funniest shit in the world and you're really proud of yourself.

As an American, if the queen of England makes me a knight but insists on a processing fee, does that qualify as a SIRcharge?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Before I watch this, in my opinion "Who's on first" is the best joke ever written. I have thought so ever since I first heard it when I was young. Puns are funny, if they're real but very often they're not.

I punderstand now! I have puns at the tip of my pung!

Honestly the harder the eye roll from people who experience my puns, the better!
