Lame Pun Reaction | comment |
A character (especially a Pungeon Master) makes a pun, that is claimed to be so obvious or disgusting, that it makes listening characters wince, groan or even feel compelled to inflict violence on the punster — or, at least, bring a lawsuit against him for pun-itive damages. This can work both ways — rimshots and some form of celebration by the punster is completely optional. Since puns are considered one of the lowest forms of humor by default, this claim can be made even if the pun in question is actually really, really funny. The chief purpose of this trope seems to be to allow a writer to deploy an awful groaner and still dodge the blame for it by pointing the karmic retribution at the character, or to use this acknowledgment as a piece of Self-Deprecation, turning this lampshading into the joke's punchline, instead of just having the pun itself...not to mention allowing the audience to enjoy the other characters' exasperation in addition to the pun. This is a subtrope of the Pun. For other puns that may or may not be bad, see Hurricane of Puns. For a character that always makes these, see Pungeon Master. For a work which is saturated with puns, see World of Pun. For an index of punny trope names, see Punny Trope Names. Not to be confused with Stealth Pun, which refers to puns where the punchline is simply left to the readers or listeners as an exercise. This may also warrant a Collective Groan or "Get Out!" or have most of the audience groaning, while one laughs. See also Visual Pun and Humor Dissonance. Compare High-Five Left Hanging. If the reaction is self-inflicted, it may overlap with Can't Believe I Said That. Oh, and a lame reaction to a pun is rather (not excluding some possible overlap) the opposite of this trope. In-Universe Examples Only! |

Sleepless Domain: Chapter 19 contains an arc in which Kokoro is temporarily Trapped on the Astral Plane by a monster, worrying her girlfriend Undine immensely. In a non-canon Crimmus outtake, she reveals to Undine that the monster had actually turned her into a ghost — a ghost of Crimmus Present! She promptly gets a jet of water to the face in response. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) Sonic is known for his many lame puns. Apart from the obvious Eggman jokes, he has also fought Knuckles when the latter was Enerjak, calling him Ener-Joke. This prompted Knuckles to yell, "Are you quite finished?!" Sonic, smug as ever, then said, "Actually... Jumping-jak. Ener-tube. Flap-jak. Ener-state. Ener-jak-in-the-box. And come to think of it... "Enerjak" sounds like some kind of sports drink. Now I'm finished." Knuckles threw him into a wall afterward. | |

Excel of Excel♡Saga draws a comparison between conquest (å¾� æœ�, seifuku) and uniforms (制 æœ�, also seifuku). Hyatt notes that this is just too obvious (and she usually plays Captain Obvious to explain the joke, so this is her way of calling it lame). And Negima! Magister Negi Magi's Jack Rakan did it the same exact way. Whether it is a Shout-Out or not is unknown. |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe: The Slow Empire has an instance of a character making a pun so lame even he gets embarrassed: Later in the same novel, the Doctor manages a pretty crummy pun, which he's actually embarrassed to have even thought of, and a footnote reveals that the writer himself was embarrassed, particularly as it makes the whole novel look like the setup for a bad joke. Lungbarrow has one for the Hand of Omega. Back in Fitz's first appearance, the Doctor asks Sam "You're worried if our newcomer fits in?" and she replies "Stop dodging the issue with crappy puns." |

On Steam Train, Ross and Dan devote a good portion of their playthroughs of Sierra games like King's Quest and Leisure Suit Larry utterly groaning at the awful puns of the narrators. Like when they are shot by an arrow in King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow. | |

Inverted by the characters in Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series, who are prolific with puns, to the point of competitions in which the worst/best pun of the evening gets his bar tab waived. They call it Punday Night. Normally, things are thrown at the offending punster, and fire extinguishers and seltzer bottles are also used for particularly outrageous puns. The bigger the response, the better they consider the pun. The highest honor a pun can receive is when the audience reacts to a particularly wonderful/horrible pun by immediately fleeing the room, screaming and holding their nose. The time traveler who tried to sell them 4 (fake) high tech gems on the 4th of July. Get it, 4th jewel lie. This was also incredibly cruel since one of the gems made a paralyzed man think he could walk. |

Borderlands 2: In a side-quest, Back-Alley Doctor Dr. Zed has you pick up a shipment from an "arms dealer". Said shipment turns out to be actual severed human arms. The flavor text after you complete the quest says that the pun may have been more painful than all the injuries you've sustained so far in your quest. Also, during a side-quest to sabotage some heaters in a bandit camp, Claptrap keeps making bad jokes about getting the bandits to "chill out" and the like. He interprets the stunned silence from the Vault Hunters as them not getting the joke, and proceeds to excessively explain why it was supposed to be funny. Claptrap gets another one in the Tiny Tina DLC, where after Tina went through the effort to make a fart joke, Claptrap ruins it for her. She simply tells him that he ruins everything in a bitter tone. |

8-Bit Theater: King Astos reveals himself as the major antagonist in the Elfland subplot. The heroes are warming up for a Final Battle, and Red Mage decides to hit Astos with a Pre Ass Kicking One Liner. It's so lame that that the heroes apologize and ask for a chance to try another one. Black Mage then busts out another one-liner. It's so bad it kills Astos on the spot. (Not the only Anti-Climax by this Trolling Creator.) Also, when it finally sinks into Fighter's thick skull that Thief is actually the Prince of Elfland: |

RWBY: In the first episode of Season 2, after Ruby expresses a desire to "Start the semester off with a BANG!", Yang replies "I always start my semester off with a YANG!" Everyone else silently shakes their heads or Face Palms, while Nora throws a tomato at Yang's face from offscreen while booing her. Near the end of "Painting the Town", Weiss attempts a Quip to Black based on Neapolitan's leaving glass statues of herself and Torchwick behind as decoys (which Yang shatters with a Megaton Punch). Yang isn't impressed with the joke's quality. In "New Challengers", Team SSSN scrapes through to the double's round via some last minute use of electricity by Neptune. Port asks Oobleck to guess what he's calling that victory. Oobleck goes for the pun and suggests "Shocking". Port thinks that response is stupid and states he was thinking the victory was well-earned. |

In City of Bones (2002), the main plot is kicked off when Harry Bosch gets a phone call from Sgt. Mankiewicz, the Hollywood Division watch commander, who sends Bosch to check out a bone that was found by a dog. Bosch is immediately skeptical because he's seen this before and it's usually animal bones. Mank assures Bosch that the caller is a doctor and not only identified the bone as human, but specifically a child's upper arm bone, complete with scarring from numerous injuries. | |

In Calvin and Hobbes: How Hobbes usually reacts to Calvin's puns. There is another one where Calvin takes a telephone into the woods to "make some bird calls" and ends up with the receiver in his mouth and the bulk of it tied to the back of his head. Another has Hobbes simply deconstruct Calvin's attempt at a punny comic strip and leave him scowling with a Death Glare: And some strips have it reversed. In one, Calvin and Hobbes are playing pirates, when Hobbes hands Calvin an old shoe. When asked what it is, Hobbes cracks, "Our booty!" while Calvin makes a disgusted Aside Glance. |

SCP Foundation: There is a kind of tomato that reacts violently to lame puns, sometimes resulting in death. The suckiness of the pun is directly proportional to how fast the tomato throws itself at the source of the lame pun; particularly bad ones can cause the tomato to break the sound barrier. For a never-ending barrage of this, check the discussion to SCP-649-2568-j, where the reactions range from "Take this upvote and go away" to "Puns like these make me want to give the pun maker a smack up the head." Articles involving dado are almost universally built around two facts. The first is that dado is a small business capitalist who will do anything his customers ask, and the second is that he will inevitably misunderstand what that customer is asking and so creates a horrifying object based upon a lame pun of what he thinks is being asked for. |

In Dylan Dog this is the standard reaction to pretty much anything Groucho (a Groucho Marx impersonator who got Lost in Character) says. He actually used it to save a life once: as Bloch lay in a coma after being shot with the doctors not expecting him to get through the night, Groucho arrived to his side and unleashed lame pun after lame pun until Bloch woke up screaming that someone dragged him away. The story "Groucho-con" has what is possibly the most epic one in fiction, in that the one who's murdering the Groucho Marx impersonators at a convention the moment they fail his test and tell him a bad joke is the Anthropomorphic Personification of the Sense of Humour, so fed up by all the bad comedians he decided to kill them all starting from the ones at that con. |

Minecraft: Story Mode: If Petra gets left behind in Episode 1, she loses both her memory and her sense of humour upon rejoining the party in Episode 4. After the heroes escape a deadly maze in the Far Lands, Petra describes the experience as "a-maze-ing". Lukas is less than impressed. | |

The skits the teams perform for the Sound Charades round in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue frequently provoke this from the opposing team, especially when Graeme and Barry get into an Overly Prepared Gag with the Hamish and Dougal characters. After an elaborate description of an episode of Teletubbies in which Po couldn't be seen from the front or the back (The Po-Side-On Adventure) Stephen Fry began his answer with "I can't believe you're doing this to us!" On another occasion, when Dougal urged Hamish to ignore the fact his roosters made a buzzer noise instead of crowing (for Never Mind the Buzzcocks), Tim suggested the answer was We Hope It's All Over. He also once commented "The trouble is, you get as far as 'Ah, Hamish!' and I switch off." | |

The Muppet Show likes these. For starters, when Kermit asks Animal if he likes his drums more than food... In the John Denver episode, Denver starts singing "Nobody Knows The Truffles I've Seen" to a gang of sentient mushrooms and gets attacked for it. A less aggressive one took place in the Roy Clark episode, after making a terrible pun about ducks: And during a Veterinarian's Hospital sketch, after Rowlf makes a particularly bad joke; Milton Berle didn't even wait for the pun to be delivered to react during the "Top Banana" number. In the Leo Sayer episode, Kermit comments that they don't often get good rock (music) on the show, only to have an actual rock turn up to complain. When Kermit says they've been taking them for granite, he earns a headbutt for his trouble. |

To the annoyance of those around him, they don't need to be good to be effective. In this strip, Vaarsuvius has sworn not to interfere in the battle except in self-defense... or if Elan's puns drive them crazy. The battle between dwarves and vampires implies that painful wordplay is just part of the Bard class; |

Undertale: Papyrus often has this kind of reaction to his brother Sans' puns, even when he actually likes them. Upon meeting Toriel in the True Pacifist ending, Papyrus declares that it's the best day of his life. After one bad skeleton joke from her, he decides it's now the worst day of his life instead. However, there are times when Sans points out that he's smiling, and in some of his phone calls, he makes his own puns. The player has the option to heckle Snowdrake, who makes bad ice puns while he attacks. (His dad doesn't approve, either.) During a segment taking place on television, interacting with a certain object will cause Mettaton to make a pun...that he immediately decides should be cut in post. |

One early sidequest in Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir has the player find a parrot for Volothamp Geddarm. Turns out the parrot's prior owner taught it a wide variety of useful Dwarven expletives. Cue Volo remarking on the bird's "fowl language"note naming a trope in the process, and the player characters calling him on it. One dialog option goes something like "Make another 'foul'-to-'fowl' pun and I'll break your neck." | |

xkcd has these in several strips: Organic Fuel has a pun so bad as to break a friendship. Math Paper has preemptive action taken against the mere threat that a number theory presentation might be a Feghoot. Delivery has a pun so violence-inducing it has to be reserved for the Alt Text: All Periods Are PMS may or may not be true, but Period shows what kind of pun not to make around a woman having hers. Boyfriend has the poor reaction to the statistics pun in the Alt Text. Black Hat offers a friend a method to reduce his mortgage payments: sodium borohydride. When a woman closes a bug report with "could not reproduce" after her attempt to become pregnant failed, the Alt Text declares that she "can't and shouldn't." When a man refers to the day after Christmas as "Christmas [Eve×364]" he is punched. When, in the Alt Text he claims "THAT's why they call it Boxing Day", he is punched again. In Immune Factory, the pun is met with "Ugh. Leave." |

In the clown-dunking game in Learning Voyage: Sand Trapped!, Arno makes several puns, and sarcastic rimshots sound after each one (with Blip face-palming in the background). Realizing the puns are no good, Arno says "All right, I'll leave the humor to the clown." In the "Ants in the Plants" game, ZZ makes a joke about leaf-cutter ants, and a trumpet goes "Wah-wah-wah-wahhhhhhhh" in response. |

The various Artix Entertainment games (AdventureQuest, DragonFable, MechQuest...) are crammed so full of puns that this sort of lampshading is inevitable on occasion. An example: at one point in the "Archknight" storyline of DragonFable, main character Ash Dragonblade is facing a necromancer who specializes in evil trees called Deadwoods. He makes so many terrible tree-related puns that the necromancer flips out and attacks him out of sheer annoyance. | |

Tamahome throws one out in Fushigi Yuugi. In an attempt to cheer Miaka up, he tells her that after causing some trouble, Tasuki will probably be taken to task (in the Japanese version, the word used for the pun is tasukete, or "help" in English). He acknowledges the lameness of his pun himself and blames his Money Fetish for it. | |

In the Japanese version of Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica, Infel has a penchant for these, with Croix reacting appropriately after every single one. This is completely lost in the English version of the game as it seems Infel's text was translated word-for-word, and Japanese puns normally don't work in other languages. Croix still reels after each joke, confusing many English-speaking players. | |

In one issue of The Simpsons, the cast parodies various Shakespeare plays including Romeo & Juliet, King Lear, Henry The 5th, and Titus Andronicus. During their parody of Julius Caesar (Portrayed by Mr. Burns), the senate (Portrayed by Homer, Mr. Smithers, and others) have accidentally stabbed each other because Mr. Burns/Caesar was too frail and thin to stab, which leads to a perplexing setup to a particularly awful pun. | |

Jack Pumpkinhead covers up his permanently-smiling mouth, and the Tin Woodsman threatens the Wogglebug with his axe. When the protagonists are flying on the gump, Mr. Wogglebug tells Jack Pumpkinhead that if his head fell off now, it would no longer be a pumpkin, but a squash. Tip scolds him about his unfeeling puns. |

In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland the King of Hearts tries to make a joke about a poem not fitting the Queen of Hearts (because she never has fits). Nobody laughs... until he explains that its supposed to be a pun. While we're at Lewis Carroll, a Snark (no, not that Snark) reacts very allergically to puns. |

Andy Farrant of Outside Xbox is prone to yelling "BOOOO" from offscreen when someone else (usually Ellen) makes a pun during a video. Somehow this doesn't stop him being a key part of a channel that specializes in list videos where every entry brings a fresh caption pun. | |

Darker than Black: Kurosawa has spent two entire episodes littering his speech with very bad Gratuitous English on the mistaken impression that it'll help his client, a Scandinavian named Eelis Castinen, understand him. Then he crosses the Gratuitous English Event Horizon by making a Gratuitous English pun on "Castinen" ("cast it in"), and his Hypercompetent Sidekick, who has been wincing behind his back the whole time, gets annoyed. | |

Persona: There is an optional scene in Persona 3 where Akihiko, trying to get over his shyness around girls, practices his pick-up lines in secret. Reading that a sense of humor is vital, he makes an utterly horrid pun ("Want to go to that Beef Bowl place?... I hope I 'meat' you there!"), then promptly chastises himself: In Persona 4, Yukiko Amagi is known for her rather... Whimsical ways of thinking, and for breaking into fits of laughter that can last several minutes. So, the first time she hears one of Teddie's un-Bear-ably bad puns, everyone braces themselves for another giggle fit. Except... In the second to last dungeon of Persona 5, there are statues that turn the characters into mice in certain rooms. When it first happens, Yusuke, of all people, starts making puns about it, much to Futaba's ire. |

Death — standing in for the Hogfather — says " Let's get out there and sleigh them." After a moment he asks Albert whether he noticed the pun; Albert responds "I'm laughing like hell deep down, sir." |

Archie Comics: In the story "Ratman" (a parody of 1989 Batman), the Punster (Reggie) evades capture by telling the police or Ratman (Archie) an intentionally lame joke, then running away while they groan over the punchline. Ratman eventually outsmarts the Punster by putting on some earplugs, so that the puns can't distract him. In one comic, Jughead cringes at an elevator operator's pun.◊ |

Peanuts: It has a strip where Linus made a snowman who is reading a book and tells Charlie Brown that he imagines the snowman is reading some poetry, but is at a loss for a poet a snowman would like. When Charlie Brown suggests Robert Frost, Linus responds, "You said it, I didn't." There is also a Running Gag of Snoopy working on his novel and writing a scene involving an unnamed man telling his wife some lame pun. |

March Comes in Like a Lion: Hayashida, the teacher to the protagonist Rei, utters a bad Japanese pun involving pork cutlets (katsu) and winning (also pronounced katsu but written differently) during their lunch break as a way of encouraging Rei for his recent string of losses. Rei feels a chill (a Japanese visual cue for a pun that's found terrible) when he's told to "katsu" his battles while being given a pork cutlet. Rei's almost driven insane by Takeshi Tsuji's onslaught of terrible, context-less puns during their shogi match. |

In Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, this is the reaction of Pikachu and Yellow to Scott making a remark about Ash's Snivy being "a little green". He meant inexperienced, but seeing their expressions he quickly realizes how corny it sounded. | |

Casey and Andy features the (extremely lethal) Pun Police. In one strip a villain successfully kills Andy by inducing him to make a bad pun. In one case, Stan, the devil of an alternate universe, provides a genuinely hideous pun. Mari, whose life's work was to become legally entitled to kill anyone punning in her presence, reacts with physical pain — from thousands of miles away. |

Homestar Runner: In the Strong Bad Email "lackey", an Easter egg has Puppet Homestar Runner starring in a variety show with Doreauxgard, the cantaloupe puppet Strong Bad created. When Homestar offers Doreauxgard the position of "produce-er", Doreauxgard quips "Forget you, Whitey, I'm going solo!" and walks away. In the email "local news", the Cheat is unimpressed by Strong Bad's attempts at newscaster humor. This previous reaction from The Cheat doesn't stop Strong Bad from trying again later in the broadcast after Strong Mad's sports corner... The 2010 cartoon "Which Ween Costumes?" was made to make up for the lack of a Halloween cartoon that year by providing a Decembeween version of the traditional costume round-up. It featured the gang dressed in holiday-themed costumes, including characters from famous Christmas specials and movies... and Coach Z as a giant sheet of paper. When Strong Bad reluctantly asked what Coach Z was supposed to be, he stated he was (w)rapping paper. Cue Collective Groan from the rest of the cast. |

In the franchise-spanning Mega Man crossover fanfic "Epilogue," Elec Man makes several electricity-based puns both before and after his fight with the heroes. Zero just grins and goes along with it, even firing back with some puns of his own, but X gets more and more irritated until he eventually snaps, decides "Pacifism be damned!," and has to be held back to stop him from tearing Elec Man limb from limb. Then Zero makes one more pun, and X's systems, already under severe stress from the recent battle, temporarily shut down in response. | |

The alibi he gives is that she was with him, but wasn't seen with him because she was disguised. One of the toughs snaps back, "So, Lucy was disguised with Diamond." All three then do an Aside Glance as the audience groans. ("I should've seen that coming," Spade confides to the fourth wall.) | |

When Mildred Riker says that Yum Yum has had her "catciousness" raised, Qwill groans at the pun, Polly shudders and Arch says that was the worst pun he's ever heard. Later, Qwill makes one about why his cats are sniffing Celia Robertson's purse (he claims they think her feline companion Wrigley is inside, and "want to let the cat out of the bag"), prompting a bout of hysterical laughter from her. |

The 2015 run of Young Avengers features Loki's guilty conscience haunting him in the form of the ghost of his reborn younger self, who he killed and whose identity he's adopted. Kid Loki taunts him by comparing the "haunting" to Hamlet's and eventually comments, "Well, we can't make a Hamlet without breaking a few eggs." Loki, with a look of disgust, declares that the pun makes him glad he killed Kid Loki. | |
