Puns. Wordplay. Can’t live with ’em, can’t have an internet without ’em. They’re the lols you love to hate and hate to love. They fill you with rage and joy simultaneously. They are a deep and ponderous conundrum wrapped in a paradox wrapped in a dad joke, and they deserve our respect.
Here are 10 bits of wordy stupidity to make you smile and then frown at yourself for smiling and then smile at yourself for frowning.
