Puns are the best/worst form of joke. On a Venn diagram, puns overlap partially, but not entirely, with the phenomenon known as Dad Jokes, which create similar consternation for their audience. They’re the kind of humor that makes you a little bit angry, but you can’t get enough of it. They’re good, but they’re terrible. When you come up with one, you beam with elation while your friends loudly boo you out of the room.
Maybe it’s that mixture of joy and shame that lends itself so well to the gimmick of this Instagram account, “PunHub,” or @punhubonline, which says in their description “Bringing you HD original puns from hot amateurs, casting now.”
