My boyfriend. I can't count the number of times per day the people in the music hall, in which we are basically permanent fixtures, want to cause him physical violence for his sense of humor. In his defense, it's cheesy, but it's still clever.

This One came up with the idea for this trope because he was worried he was the only one. In fact, he doesn't consider a trip to visit his parents' home complete until he can get his mother to hit or throw something at him at least once.

This one is like this and actually played a bard in D&D so that he could do it without people throwing things at him!

This editor is like this... Playing a bard in D&D didn't save him from having things thrown at him, though.

One editor's husband is like this. Yes, duct tape has been considered as a sanity-saving measure.

In this troper's marriage, both husband and wife are like this.

If, by some odd reason, you are like this and discover that you have associated lesions in the obituary cortex, you may possess a valid neurological disorder called Witzelsucht. Psychologists and Germans ''both'' have a word for ''everything''.

Wow. That would be the best head trauma ever.

Then again, it might Witzelsuck.

...''obituary'' cortex?

That's supposed to be "orbitofrontal" cortex, but this way fits the trope better, so I'm not changing it.

This one absolutely has to do it constantly in any classroom situation. Unfortunately, the teachers are usually the only ones intelligent enough to get the joke...

This troper's DM is like this. Violence has been threatened after particularly nasty ones, and this troper has taken to just ignoring the puns and carrying on regardless.

This Troper's father.

Same for this troper, who has to be careful not to set him off...

My father as well, to the point where I can pre-emptively facepalm before he gets to the punchline.

This troper's boyfriend. And said boyfriend's father. Dinner nights at their house are a test of willpower.

This editor's family is always annoyed by puns.

This troper and his immediate boss. And basically the entire department (well, we are writers).

This editor expects to eventually catch an elbow in the eye if he sneaks upon someone from the left side and taps them on the right shoulder one time too many. He still cannot help himself

This troper's family calls it a Congenital Joke Defect. It runs in the male side of the family. An ever-present source of grief for the female side to boot. :)

This troper and her father, to the extent that her mother once threatened to drive off the road if we didn't stop.

This troper can turn just about anything in to a horrible pun. My pun-adverse best friend has come close to hitting me before. My aunt also dislike puns, and her response to me cracking my toes, and then shouting "Krackatoa! :D" (one of my, er, "gems") was a simple "Oh, ''god''."

This troper annoys, confuses, and makes his family laugh with his puns. Normally they're confused which leads me to believe this troper needs better material.

This troper's father, especially when this troper was younger; also, this troper, to a lesser, though more {{Squick}}y, extent.

This troper's Psychology teacher, who claimed he made them so often because he was "pungry". Good times.

This troper has a family of them, who love them, which makes for moments where everyone is trying not to die of laughter. There is a reason why she doesn't leave her stuffed cat out anymore...

This troper once managed to launch into a 15 minute long string of cow-related puns after commenting on the aroma of a dairy farm as my mom drove past it. In fact, oddly enough, Mom seems to provide a lot of setup lines for this. You'd think she'd have learned not to, seeing as how my dad and myself are both Pungeon Masters and my younger brother is currently being trained in the art...

This troper's favorite is when I announced that my favorite cookies were Japanese cookies, kuukido, thus simultaneously punning the pronounciation (cookie-dough) and sushi, aka raw fish. Kuukido is raw cookies, of course.

This troper is this at the worst possible moment. I have actually lost friends over this, and I have several banned phrases that are updated daily.

This troper's brother is notorious for being one, but on the odd occasion, both him and her father will get into a HurricaneOfPuns. It gets worse when her mother joins in. Then there are the times where this troper wishes we recorded the stuff we spew when she manages to join in. But never get them started on rhyming...they '''''won't''' stop''.

No more rhymes now! I mean it!

Anybody want a peanut?

'''GAAAH!'''

This troper who is known for being a Large Ham uses is quite the Punster. And on Halloween will often say..."Hello boils and ghouls" like Crypt Keeper from ''Tales From The Crypt'' in his best impersonation of the Crypt Keeper's voice.

This troper enjoys writing very bad GoonShow-esque scripts that will almost certainly never actually be used for anything, ever. At present, he's working on one that basically goes "You will know it is time to change authors when you hear the gun fire, like this. [Gunshot]," followed by a little bit of plot, followed by a very bad pun, followed by a gunshot, then the cycle resumes at "little bit of plot". If it's ever finished, he'll find somewhere on the Internet to put it, then provide a link just so you can see how bad it gets.

This troper is one. Her friends and most of her family hate her for it. Except one good friend she has, who is a complete, total smart ass and will join in for a pun making contest (Pun? Bun? =D) and her dad, who she takes her lessons from. Once got in a whole slew of tree puns at a pizza place with good friend, though, which was garnering nasty looks from the people around us. Can't help we were barking to see who could make the none sappiest, abrasive jokes that people wanted us to leaf over. We ended when I made one involving my last name (a tree based one). =D

Had another one today. I was talking to my friend who was offering to make a loan out to me, so he'd buy the game for me and I'd pay it back. Cue this troper singing "oreta awai tsubasa kimi wa sukoshi..."

In the words of my friend: " '''OH MY GOD!''' SHUT UP! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Unfortunately, no puns came to mind as she was shouting. :(

This troper makes puns all the time. Including puns on the word "pun" (such as "Hey, I got a quota to fill. A few more and I make Punnery Sergeant.")

This troper realised he was one of these when he was sitting in a lecture on the anatomy of the brain and realised his own brain was trying to pun "ventricle" and "ventriloquist". (Later in the lecture, he devised one on the "cerebral aqueduct/aqueduct of Sylvius" that wouldn't be out of place in ''IrregularWebcomic'').

"Ventricle twist". You're welcome.

This troper and his brother sat up till two in the morning making awful puns about cows.

This troper has a deal going with his friend. I'm allowed to make 10 god-awful puns each day, but no more. Everytime he hears me make one I have to hold up a finger count for that day so he can keep track. My favourite recently has been: Why did the eskimos boat sink when he tried to start a fire? Because you can't have you cayak and heat it. (Incidentally thats 7)

Note that if all your allocated jokes for the day fall flat, then, while you might have hoped to get a laugh, no pun in ten did. *runs for the hills*

This tropers father is like this and claims it is genetical, but has fought that legacy and tried to make it the end of the chain. He failed.

Additionally, the same tropers roleplaying group is masters of this, so much so that some have passed into legend and got other groups to use our wordplays. This is espacially easy when people have names that actually mean stuff, something that is very usual in Sweden...

This Troper's high school law teacher had a terrible penchant for punning. After cutting myself one morning while getting rid of what had been until then PermaStubble / pseudo goatee, the teacher made a jibe about a close shave. I made a response about cutting a Spock Goatee in the bud. He retorted with "Well, Mister [Sneebs], your sense of humour is quite cutting edge today." Not to be outdone, I fired back "yes, quite cutting." Five minutes later we were still at it before someone kindly told us to pack it in and get on with the lesson. Ah, Mr. Buttazoni, how I miss you.

This Troper is full of math puns. Once, ha had skittles, and everyone was asking him to share. He gave everybody one. One girl said that she had asked for ''some''. My response: #QUOTE#'''Troper:''' One Plus Zero. Sum.

This troper hates puns so much that she ended a relationship because she was so tired of her ex's lame jokes, among other communication problems. While making hot fudge sauce, she forgot to mix the cocoa powder with sugar before adding it to the liquid ingredients. She wondered if the sauce was going to be lumpy, then added, "I'll just have to whisk it." Cue certain tropes being played very, very straight.

Heh. Proof that puns can be a sauce of trouble, and like anything should be treated as whisky business.

Quite a rum business, eh what?

Of course, you just have to gin and beer it, so quit wining.

Personally, I prefer to spread my pundemonium via StealthPun, in order to not get hurt for it. My favourite one recently was when my teacher mentioned someone named [John] Dover. I asked if he was any relation to Eileen. After a second of confusion, my teacher cracked up laughing. The best part was that this came a few seconds after discussing 'Dad Jokes', when he had told the class about the inflatable boy joke. (First name changed to protect a dude I don't know personally).

This troper's friend is like this. She considers violence often.

At the dinner table, this troper's father sometimes comes up with some pretty bad puns (and a few rare good ones). Often times, the conversation degenerates into a pun war between the two of us. It's a wonder that my mom manages to put up with this.

This troper is a punster DM. His "star number" is the infamous neckromancer.

The same troper has now acquired the title "Punnery Sergeant".

This One had to actually develop this as a survival skill. Her best friend and his father were the original Pungeon Masters, and if you do not know how to take a pun, you needed to stay far away from the bookstore or the house. However, once your wit has been developed and you feel you can take the punishment, you may enter their household. By being his best friend and him living within walking distance of our school, we spent a lot of time at his house. This meant that I was, by proxy, part of the family. If you want to A Level In Badass}} take a level in badass, you stay for dinner and see how long it takes for you to get the mom and sister into it. Lame Pun}} We don't consider them the perfect nuclear family for no apparent reason.

This troper, his father, and his brother are all Pungeon Masters. Mom and this troper's three sisters, not so much. This troper has started humor threads with titles like "Once u-pun a forum", and on a news aggregator blog, titled an article on large fossil waterfowl "DUCK!"

I'm unsure if I fit here or not, but I'm sure there's something for it. I am constantly making jokes, puns and in general have a lightning wit.

I don't make puns often, and when I do, I usually don't realize it until someone else points it out. Problem is, they tend to be kind of dirty...

Thankfully, This Troper isn't one, but many of his teachers ''are''. You can only imagine the pain of sitting through Calculus (a class where HardWorkHardlyWorks, may I add) as your teacher belts out a a slew of math-related puns. **{{facepalm}}*

This Troper is shamelessly a PungeonMaster, to the point that her drama teacher has labeled any and all puns, terrible or otherwise, made by anyone in the theater company a "Troper Pun". When my teacher was asking a kid who was reading for the Ghost in Hamlet why he wasn't talking, I responded that "He was probably eating booberry pie, I dunno." cue *facepalm* from everyone in the room. It doesn't help that I'm also a bit of a LargeHam, great for theater but not for class. So, when I read for it, I tried to keep it to a Small Bacon. :)

I can't think of any examples, but my best friend and I ''love'' coming up with terrible puns. We measure success by how hard we can make each other face palm.

This troper and her boyfriend have both inherited the PungeonMaster gene. As it seems to be dominant, it seems likely that our hypothetical offspring will have double the pun we do.

This Troper once participated in an interactive story featuring Pun Ninjas. They were the best characters ever.

I'm not sure if I'm a full Pungeon Master yet or not, but I've certainly had my fair share of epic puns.

For starters, check out my contributor page.

When the H1N1 outbreak started making headlines, I told a girl I knew back in high school, "you remember when you said you'd go out with me when pigs fly? Well, guess what, baby? Swine flu!"

I have a degree in foreign languages, and came up with an idea to buy a formal outfit and write properly conjugated verbs, etc. all over it in several languages. If someone commented on it, I'd say, "do you like it? It's my strong suit."

Best of all, though, was when I was unleashing a {{hurricane of puns}} at a ren faire. My friends told me I had issues, so I picked up a nearby foil and said, "I just have rapier wit."

I seem to be turning into one of these. It seems that the people most likely to be appreciative of {{Incredibly Lame Pun}}s are {{Pungeon Master}}s themselves.

This troper tends to make puns. All the time. They often results in Groaning. But, you know what? Her grandma is even better. Or, if you don't like puns, like this troper's best friend, you may call it worse. #QUOTE#"What have you been reading?" #QUOTE#"Finnish epic poetry." #QUOTE#"Oh, I never finish epic poetry."

I love bad puns and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny...

I have my moments where it is impossible for one to get a serious conversation out of me. I also try to find a joke in everything, which annoys his stepmother a lot.

I love puns, no matter how good or bad they are. Recently, my friends and I were talking about the PhoenixWright and ProfessorLayton game, and we were discussing the advertisement: #QUOTE# '''Troper's friend''': If only I could understand Japanese! That was the whole point of taking the class! Also, I feel like I should have made a terrible pun earlier. #QUOTE# '''Me''': ''(thinks)'' Oh Maya gosh, you are no help. No hard feelings, I'll Luke for a translation. I'm contempLayton getting a 3DS, and I hope the game is a crossover done Wright. #QUOTE# '''Troper's other friend''': Gaaah! #QUOTE# '''Me''': She started it by pundering about it, so I tried it out, just for the pun of it!

This Troper is commonly beaten by his friends for his terrible puns.

This Troper and his father occasionally have pun wars where we build off the previous pun. So saying 'Good night' gets us to something about a lord which gets us to 'peer' which is punned with 'pier' etc.

This troper loves making ''three-tiered'' puns. Example: "What do snails stand at to discuss food?" "A gastropodium."

While this troper was writing an essay for a sociology class, she brought up the topic of breast alteration... #QUOTE# In a way, a woman having cosmetic surgery such as breast augmentation or reduction has the same stigma as one of the amputees, them admitting to themselves that they aren’t the proper model of a woman and seeking a way to enhance or reduce themselves to fit the frame expected of them. People often even react in similar ways, with pity or disgust at doing so, with some women claiming that the change has made a new woman out of them, akin to prosthetics making a new man out of a man with a missing limb and placing them back into normal society. Sometimes it works, but in other times, it simply proves to be a bust.

Anyone who thinks they can outdo me when it comes to this has clearly punderestimated my skills.

This lurker-turned-Troper's aunt is like this. Her main aim during family visits is to get me to groan at her puns as early and as often as possible.

It's a guilty pleasure for this troper. She loves making puns whenever she can and even she knows they're all lame.

Unless you're a glutton for punishment.

How punctual of you to mention that here.

Stop that, or I'll punch both of you!

First you need to find all of us!

''*smiles at the troper who said "stop that"*'' No need, I'll do it for you. '''Falcon PUN-CH!'''

CARLOS!!!!

Oh no! It's Play On Words Zombies! The Pundead!

Did they rise up from the Punderground catacombs?

Are we looking for some punishing puneral punters?

Punctually Perennial Punsters Punched Pathetically, Posthumously Paraded.

You just killed an elder god, TvTropes. You pun-ched out Cthulhu.

That last one was just puny.

It left a bit of a sting. And my name isn't Carlos.

Bumblebee, I ''told'' you to stop messing with the Tropers!

You know, for those tree-folk who visit this page, its arbortrary you leave before you wilt.

Leaf the treefolk alone! How wood you like it if they made yew go back to the main page?

Those guitar-playing Onix and Graveler reading this page, however, can always protect themselves with ThePowerOfRock.

Onix's Power of Rock is nothing compared to Aggron's HeavyMetal ability! Here's the link back to Main/PungeonMaster here. Don't expect a whole chain.

Judging by the mess above, I think you already got a pearl necklace anyways.

Well at lest we can stop before it gets ''pun''gent.

Or before {{Batman}} shows up and ''pun''ishes you all for being such terrible Jokers.

I doubt that threat will much make anyone ''bat'' an eyelash.

These puns are going to drive Bruce Wayne batty!
