There is something uncanny about this format for me. Glossy stock images, with the punster looking directly at you in the second pannel - sometimes even everyone involved, as if they were all aware of the pun (even in the submissions where the pun is based on a misunderstanding) ... it's eerie? Or is it just me?

All of this time I have never seen the use case for twitter for me personally but now I am going to get one for this.

I've now stolen several of these for group texts to punish friends and family.

But others are just.. Bad. I hope they focus on quality again soon.

I'm holding on to the "your wife didn't make it" for just the right dark moment though.

This is a parody account that posts puns. It’s not actually related to PornHub.

(punning aside, where did the FooHub formulation originate? I usually assume it was GitHub, but was there something else before that?)

(eh, looks like grubhub was first. I feel like I've probably gone down this rabbit hole before, anyway.)

I'm already familiar with at least 2/3 of these, and I've predicted most of the rest just from the setup. I can't decide if I'm proud or depressed.

If I find a wheel of cheese in the street, can I keep it?

Definitely not, it’s nacho cheese.

Guy gets sent by his buddies to get nacho cheese for their party.
When he gets back he explains that he didn't realize he was broke but produces a wheel of fine cheddar.
His buddies tell him "You idiot, that's not nacho cheese!"
He replies "Yes it is! The lady who's shopping cart I grabbed it from was running after me and yelling 'That's nacho cheese!' !"

(I can't take credit for this one, it's older than dirt.)

Lady asks the pharmacist what kind of tampon she should select from the bewildering array.
Pharmacist considers for a moment and asks, "Well, what type of flow do you have?".
Customer looks dumbfounded but replies, "Linoleum!".

(I know, I know, I'll shut up now.)
