I'm running a Zombie Apocalypse style GURPS game which takes place in Sobergarden. (Think synonyms.)

In a version of ''Taming of the Shrew'' I saw, a man came onto the stage and sang "Yesterday" in the style of the sixteenth century with a live music backup that joined him for the refrain. They were "The Beadles."

This troper likes to to nickname her Pokemon, and I was stuck trying to nickname Koffing. Eventually, I decided on Jupiter. Because they're both gas giants!

Also in Pokémon, this troper gave her Ariados an Amulet Coin to hold. Get it? She's a money spider!

In a Dungeons and Dragons campaign I created, I had all the enemies be magically modified changelings forced into servitude with the final boss being two giant foxlike monsters who could use the powers that the players used. One of the players then realized that I was making them fight [[JackOfAllTrades Jackals of Trade]].

I added the EV Nova example as an example of what I (and a few others I'm sure) have done. Just to indulge my history-nerdiness.

Technically an audio pun: this troper (named William) was one of two soloists in a performance. The other soloist was called Grace. I didn't get the joke until I asked why that was funny...and I still had to look it up on Wikipedia. Justified, though: I'd never heard of Will and Grace before that. I laughed after I saw that, then made a mental note to let the choir master know that I'm not gay.

This troper has The End of a Thought and Dona Nobis Pacem as ringtones for her parents and people she really doesn't want to talk to, respectively. The former is the battle music when fights Kratos in TalesOfSymphonia, which kinda reflects when tensions run high between me and my parents, and the latter is because I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, GRANT ME PEACE!

I'm not completely sure that this fits the trope, but it's something ''like'' a stealth pun. At my retail job, I've developed the perfect response to a certain question that customers ask over and over. (If this belongs on a different page, please feel free to move it.) #QUOTE#'''Customer:''' Do you take credit cards? #QUOTE#'''Yours Truly:''' Sure. I even give them back!

A thread on an anime forum once asked the forum-goers whether they were embarrassed by the amount of Japanese speech they'd picked up from watching anime. One response was "Yes, but it can't be helped."is a translation of "Shikata ga nai", which is a [[JapaneseStockPhrases Japanese Stock Phrase and definitely one you will hear a lot watching subtitled anime]]

My mother once gave me quite a memorable one. She recently asked to look at my Japanese homework out of curiosity. I showed her a worksheet I had done. Her first response was "...I can hardly read this!" handwriting back in elementary sucked.

This Troper resolves to name her first cat "Sieti" and her first dog "Dioji".

I play an RPG character that I originally developed for a short-lived FLCL game one of my friends [=GMed=]. A part of his expanded universe was an increase of instruments as weapons, and a heavy reliance on famous musicians as [=NPCs=] who were often given prominent positions in the [=GSPB=]. I made my character a keyboard player, and one of his catch phrases is "Oh Lord". in a religious sense, but referring to Jon Lord, the longtime keyboard player of DeepPurple.

(Overlaps with StealthInsult, as well) My friend was talking with one of her friends about which ScoobyDoo character they most resembled. Friend said that she's most like Shaggy to which I jokingly interjected with "actually you'd be closer to Scooby than Shaggy" *{{beat}}* "... You know, because you're both dogs." took a second before it dawned on her that by calling her a dog I was implying that she was a bitch.

A History teacher of mine used to tell my class that our answers to essay questions should not contain anything that ''smelled'' like we didn't know what we were talking about. other words, not to try to bullshit our way through them.

This Troper, halfway through a wiki walk, tried to load the "You Have Waited Long Enough" page, but the connection timed out.

This troper did a video of a building under reforms with "Land Down Under" as BGM. you don't know, the performer for that is Men At Work.
