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
Eva Chanda
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.
Simon@sellathechemist @Garwboy Yes please mr brain chap.
deeoh 
@Garwboy yes please!
James Edwards@Garwboy I’m guessing it’s something to do with pattern recognition?
Jon Kunkee
Domino Joyce@Garwboy yes please! (some considerable pressure on the headline pun for it)
erzsebel she/her@Garwboy I would read it and then share it with all my family and friends.
Ferrous@Garwboy definitely!
I don't know if you'd have any reason to be aware of this, and I don't think there's been much research, but there seems to be a high prevalence of people who are really into puns among the autistic population.
I have only vague speculations about why this might be...
Fish Id Wardrobe ⁂@Garwboy Put a lot of puns in it?
benjohn@Garwboy the fact this _dodn’t_ end in a pun was pretty unexpected to me and I can’t decide if I like it or not. So yes, I would read that article.
PhD9@Garwboy Absolutely!
Chris Bohn@Garwboy I'd read it!
I'll even offer one of my favorite creations for the title:
Puns are all fun and games untl someone loses an 'i'.
