Memes have advanced our sense of humor in such bizarre and blinding ways that it can be easy to forget that the old ways of telling jokes still hit just as good if they’re done right. There’s a reason that the old-fashioned pun has continued to thrive in the internet times, and that’s because we will never get enough of them. They’re just too witty (or hilariously stupid, depending on the combination of words). 

This is why it brings us great pleasure to present to you numerous examples of wordplay and puns doing what they do best, lighting that tiny bulb in our brain that says ‘this is funny’. The English language might get complicated at times, but it’s all worth it to see the creative ways that its speakers turn it into humor. Long may it continue to make us chuckle in instances such as the examples we have below.
