Dean Burnett (that brains guy)So many people lining up to see the new Margot Robbie movie. Which is fair enough. After all, summertime is...

It's now been pointed out that there's no accessible go-to article about the science of how/why puns have the effect on us they do.
I could definitely write such a thing, but would it be of interest to people? Just wondering if it's worth the time
Amo Bishop Rodent@Garwboy is it worth the time? A good pun, Dean, is its own reword

Dylan Roskams-Edris@Garwboy depends on the grinpact factor vs the H(ate)-index.
Geoff 🏴@Garwboy I'm a big fan of comedy analysis - but I'm aware it's a niche interest, "nobody laughs and the frog dies" and all that.
Joanna McKenzie@Garwboy I would read it. And I think I know a few other people who would too.
SellaTheChemist@Garwboy Quentin Cooper would, I’m sure, be interested. As would I.

Ro Claverton@Garwboy OK, I laughed.
🩵 Bwee the Fluffdragon 🩵@Garwboy YOU GET BACK HERE AND TAKE YOUR PUN-ISHMENT YOU BRAT xD how dare you hurt my brain this bad. I only have two braincells left (luckily neither of them are required to see this movie).
Brian Shaw@Garwboy This is the kind of content I’m here for.

Rebecca Bredin@EverBeyondReach @Garwboy That was exactly what my brain did when I read this. I miss CSI Miami sometimes. Not often, but sometimes. My favourite part was the techno-lit club. I always wished that Stefon from SNL would show up in their lab and be like “Miami's hottest club is the Morgue. This club has everything - dead bodies, bubbling acids, pointy objects and a back room filled with creatures from Area 51”
Matt Lewis@Garwboy This post prompted me to Google the neuroscience of puns. I found this report of a study from 2016: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/your-pun-divided-attention-how-the-brain-processes-wordplay/ but not much else. I find it hard to believe you haven't written a comprehensive article on the topic.
@semiprime good point. I should probably do that.
🦃 Kat Callahan 
🦃@Garwboy Well, you could go see that other movie instead.
I hear it's The Bomb.
Virginicus@Garwboy Take your star and get out.

Michael Gemar@Garwboy There’s something with Oppenheimer and “new queue leer”, but it’s too early for me to figure out.
gplr_@Garwboy Ba dum tsss!
M.O.M.O.
Kris@Garwboy this one is so good it gets the triple-whammy boost/fav/comment treatment. Bravo!
lpbkdotnet@Garwboy god that’s awful.

Eli the Bearded@Garwboy There was a substantial Barbie queue to use the photo-op giant box in the lobby yesterday
Stephen Bannasch (316 ppm)@Garwboy shared with my three adult daughters who are going together to see Barbie this afternoon. I did not take credit for the “Dad” joke ;-)
Stacey Cornelius@Garwboy That may be the "I'll see myself out" moment of the decade.
bit101@Garwboy I liked this. I hate it but I like it.
Stacey Campbell@Garwboy I usually share appalling dad jokes with whoever is in the room with me...but this has crossed a line.
pezworld@stacey_campbell @Garwboy You just fucking shared it with me! :(
Going T. Maine@Garwboy booooooo
JaageriI go see Margot R anywhere, except in a shill smith movie, fast & furious movie or a barbie movie.

aethervision@Garwboy How you think you can just skipper in here and tell a joke like that is beyond my ken.
Hugh Young-BishAaw, Da-ad!
Prof Prachi Srivastava@Garwboy I can Ken hardly wait.
Will@Garwboy but I like Memphis style, and this stuff is done like Ken-tucky

Dean, you're going to burn in hell for that awful pun. LOL. I'm stealing it.
