Long pun chains

So. Much. This.

Long looping chains where the same 3 comments are repeated.

Doing puns on purpose are never funny.. the only time I personally enjoy a pun is when it's 100% accidental.

Going to have to hard disagree with you there. Puns only ever get funnier the longer you go and the harder you have to try.

If this isn't sarcasm you are on the exact opposite end of the what is funny spectrum from me 🤣

99.9% of the time puns are trash tier comedy.

I respect your opunion. Hopefully there will continue to be something for everypun. :)

The first one is usually good and then it's all forced and contrived, with weaker and weaker puns as the chain goes.

Did someone say long pun chain? Wait, I'm new here how do we post a link?

Pun chains were an instant exit out of the thread for me
