The Pun Generator: when you absolutely need a pun RIGHT NOW

Web Watch loves a good pun.

Alas, “good pun” is also an oxymoron, as there are millions of people out there who think that the lowly pun is the worst form of a joke that’s possible.

It takes no thought, they say.  It’s not funny, they lament.

Web Watch believes that these people are upset and angry because they didn’t think of the wordplay themselves first.  Or they don’t get the pun in the first place.

Either way, puns are wasted on those folk.  But that’s okay.

Besides, coming up with a good pun is horribly, terribly difficult.

It involves the careful placement of letters to turn one word into one that is much more amusing to the ear.

And that’s where the PUN GENERATOR can help aspiring joke writers to come up with what could be an ultimate pun punchline.

Just type in your favorite word, and let the Pun Generator come up with a list of words that could work.

Take, for example, “WEB WATCH” as our search phrase.

We first are told that WEB WATCH rhymes with the following words:

  • Forgot
  • Beyond
  • Apart
  • Depart
  • Regard
  • Discharge

And then the system goes through some common phrases that match these rhymes to see if it can find any appropriate matches:

  • The Land That Time Web Watch
  • Web Watch About Dre
  • Web Watch Belief
  • Web Watch The Pale
  • Batman Web Watch

You get the idea.   Let’s try a simpler word, like “RUN”:

  • Run Tree Hill
  • Run Direction
  • There is more than Run way to kill a cat
  • Two heads are better than Run

See, these have the potential of being funny.  Now all we need is a Punchline Generator, and we’ll be in good shape for the next Open Mike Night at the club.   Who’s going with us?
