Well that's a bit strong actually, I don't think it was
every recent interesting threads, that's Phox's words, but it makes for a good subject line.
Quote from: Doktor Phox on January 10, 2011, 06:22:10 AM
The fact that every interesting thread in recent memory has devolved into a pun war.
Yeah it kind of gets bad when there's suddenly 3 in a row, that have nothing to do with the discussion
at all (corn?), or when people jump in just to pile on more puns without furthering the discussion, that really really derails the thread.
Usually, a pun would be a one-off remark that punctuates the thread with a nice joke. It must not become the focus of the thread (unless it's a particularly good joke of course). When I do such a thing, I don't
want people to focus on it, it's an interjection, brightens up the thread, maybe someone replies LOL,
but then the discussion continues.BTW the above is just "what details triple zero thinks shape a good thread", not me telling people what not to post, but something to, I dunno consider or think about. It's also the point of view of someone who really likes the occasional well-crafted pun.
And, this is really personal taste, but the recent "pun runs" have been particularly crappy and rehashing the same combinations of play-on-words over and over again: corn/maize/ear/kernel has been done many times, so have most music-related puns, as well as cheese-related puns, shoe-related puns and body-part-related puns. I don't think it's too much to ask for A LITTLEBIT OF ORIGINALITY PLEASE. Otherwise it's not even a funny joke, but more like one of those "c-c-c-combo memes", like you see on 4Chan or Reddit*.
^^^ The above
is telling me what to post, because if you can't post original jokes, then :| on you!
*On 4Chan they are okay because it's a sewer anyway, and on Reddit it's okay because their comment system is threaded like a tree, so a discussion can branch off into people riffing puns off eachother to their hearts desire, while others can continue on-topic discussion. PD doesn't have a threaded comment system, which has other advantages, but also means that a discussion can be derailed much easier.
also I'm aware of the irony that I sorta derailed this thread by posting this. but that's
always the case on subjects like this
actually wait a minute I'll just not post it and post it as a separate new thread cause it's not like you need the exact context anyway (otherwise click the quote link) (hey actually this is sort of a cool trick to branch a discussion)
The pun wars were really killing me, jews should all be punished for bringing such atrocities upon us.
Though, have to admit, Pun wars are a gas.

When I do such a thing, I don't want people to focus on it, it's an interjection, brightens up the thread, maybe someone replies LOL, but then the discussion continues.
This is pretty much how I approach it. Look, I think we can all agree that we, as individuals, have different styles and personas. I'm the pun guy (and the drug guy too I guess, a bad combination indeed, eh?), or one of the pun guys. It's what I do. I'll interject a pun in a thread if I think it's particularly good. I might also interject one in a thread that's getting too serious or heated, just to maybe lighten it up a bit (which usually never works).
But the one thing I always try very hard to do is NOT post them in serious threads. For example, I'd never post a pun in any of TGRR's series threads. I certainly wouldn't post them in an OKM rant, unless it has gone off the rails and everyone has devolved into nonsense. I've also always made it a point to not post puns in TFY,S, again, unless the thread has gone to hell and there isn't any serious discussions going on anymore.
Of course, I'm not perfect, and I'm sure I fuck up now and again, but all you have to do is tell me.
But the other thing is I don't really intend for my puns to be the beginning of a pun-off. Unless, the thread is specifically for that. Also, at the risk of sounding like a pun elitist, they kinda lose their punch if they happen too often. I do have a couple of pun threads around, one here in AT and one in B or B. In fact, the pun thread in Bring or Brag originally was started after a couple of my puns rubbed some people the wrong way because they interrupted their thread, so originally if I saw something and thought of a good pun, I'd just link to that thread in the pun thread and post the pun their.
So, I would suggest if someone has a real itch to pun-off, start a different thread or maybe take it to the pun thread. Puns are funny but too much isn't necessarily better and they also aren't worth pissing people off.
Anyway, that's my 2 1/2 cents.

I think it was the holocaust angle. Kinda tasteless, even for a pun.
Nah, holocaust seems to be fair game here, just like randomly pissing on the French, the combination with a failed joke is what made is kinda meh, cause then all you have left is the holocaust remark, which even though we know Lies doesn't mean anything by it, leaves a meh reaction.
The only thing that bugs me is when there's a run of like 3 or 4 puns
and then a greater number posts complaining about how the thread's jacked and dead
because honestly, BOTH groups are participating in a threadjack, it's just that one is doing as a sort of "this is the last jack" jack
if the topic is interesting enough to be discussed, people will keep talking about it. Just because somebody makes a bad joke doesn't mean that we have to stop talking. We can move past that.

No, it was just a weak attempt.
OP:
Fine. I won't make jokes. Hope you all die of phossy jaw.
I am not posting in this thread.
I only pun as a reactionary measure. I consider puns a threat to my way of life, and I will return fire if my people are threatened. Further more, I have no qualms with using the same dispicable weapons used on me, on my enemies.
I realize this statement may incite an arms race, but we have enough people running around on their legs, anyhow.

Absolutely. That's why I first tried it (in parentheses), and then, after typing up most of the OP, decided I might as well cut/paste the whole bit into a new thread.

If disrupting a discussion by piling on in a pun run with canned play-on-words is the only way you can make jokes, then, as the OP states, that is not what triple zero believes shapes a good discussion--nothing more.
Seems to me, however, this is not what you did, so I don't think the OP even applies to you.
Also, chill the fuck out, I think what I wrote was clear enough and if you have a problem, then please to state it in a way that does not deliberately misinterprets me.
I'm pissed off because apparently there has been a streak of pun threadjacking that I wasn't aware of, and people choose to crawl up my ass when I do it a little bit. I was done after two.

Puns will not help you "hook up". They will not make you dance better. They WILL, however, fuck up your skin, make your teeth fall out, make your face curl up like a fist, and cause you to think you have bugs under your skin.
Stick with 'stache. It's a better high, and it won't make your nose suppurate.
Poppycock! Puns are manna from heaven. They are the key to higher spiritual existence! A good pun allows you to shake hands with Yahweh himself! Do not listen to the unbelievers!

I can understand that. What I can't stand is how often any amount of hijack becomes full-on "thread roont" mode. It seems like everybody's way too eager to crap on the parade. Thread ruined. Because discussions on the internet are always so orderly. If you don't care for a post in a thread, fucking skip it. Quote something earlier and respond to that. The only thing that actually ruins a thread is making people not want to talk about something anymore, and if a couple jokes is all it takes, maybe you never actually cared that much.

Problem: On several occasions recently, any on-topic posts have been buried under 2 pages of puns.
On top of that, while a genuine, well though-out pun can be funny, the ones that are nothing more than plays on words - not even GOOD plays on words - are
painful to read. Not in a good way. It's like hearing dittoheads call Clinton "Klintoon", convinced that they are the next Oscar Wilde.
It makes me want to spontaneously combust. No shit.
I love me a good Jubilee!
I had no idea it was that bad lately. Would not have sprung for such cheap humor if I did.
I realy hadn't noticed it either. I guess I've just been too relieved that we seem to be going thru a "tard fee phase" where all the wanna be trolls who are trying to teach us how to be really real discordians in every damn thread just have disappeared.
I was enjoying the quiet of just us.....
Personally I would prefer puns, even bad ones, to trolls.

I only saw you do one (missed something i think), which was the first one that started it off, so you're not part of the pile-up, therefore the OP wasn't directed at you.
Also it was mainly directed at the much worse pun-runs in other threads* , I just copied my reply to a separate thread to not derail the oak-tree one further, thereby giving undue weight to the pun-run in that particular thread. We okay now? :)
(*which I probably played part in a few times, so the OP is also directed at me, except not really cause I already got the message for having written it)

Yeah, YOU were but by then it was too late because a bunch of other pigfuckers decided to jump on the bandwagon.
Here's the thing: Puns are not funny. And a bunch of puns in a row are not clever.
They are the domain of average-intelligence gamer geeks who obsessively watch Monty Python and think that makes them geniuses. Have you ever been in a room with those people? Do it once, and you will never think puns are funny again.
Puns are extra unfunny when they are placed in threads with real content. My current policy is, once the punning starts in a thread I was interested in, I'm done with that thread. It's over. The way things are going, this whole board is THIS close to being as much of an inane circlejerk of mediocrity as The Cellar, because a bunch of people, some newbs and some not, have started seeing EVERY FUCKING OPENING as a glorious golden opportunity to show off how clever they think they are by stringing completely lame puns off each other.
If it actually keeps going that way and everybody keeps making excuses for why it's OK, I would be perfectly happy to institute a zero-tolerance hateshitting policy that will fuck up every single fucking thread of everyone who drops a single one of those retard shitbombs in any thread, ever, except for RWHN who gets a special pass by virtue of that being his identity and actually putting effort into it.
I think occasionally it's ok. I indulged in one with Peleus earlier today, but it was only one that metalheads would get. No one bit, and as far as I know the thread went on.

Apply now for your Pun Permit. The Department of Fun only accepts a certain number of them per year. The permit allows you to consider posting a pun, which then must be approved, before posting it. Only those with permits may then respond to said pun, but only if deemed sufficiently clever.
I feel an overwhelming desire to make a pun related to the wars between Rome and Carthage. But i wont.
I personally have seen so many annoying puns on all types of threads that i just take their existance as a necessary evil; like Apple Talk.

One person? One pun? Maybe the rest of them were so stupid that you didn't even recognize them, because I saw several. And, it doesn't even really matter because it's still rude as fuck.

And, pardon the brief moment of arrogance, I'm pretty fucking good at it. And puns ARE funny and they ARE NOT the domain of "average-intelligence". In my social circles, puns were bandied about amongst my other musician friends. Folks who are actually pretty damned intelligent. It certainly can be turned into low-rent humor, but you can say that about any kind of comedy, entertainment, or amusement.

I think the lame flirting and boasting about perversions is probably just as annoying as the puns. But anyways...
Jenne and I were joking, not flirting.
w/e I'm not that invested in it. Just pointing out those kind of threadjacks are as annoying as the pun-based ones, so maybe it's not the puns that are the issue, it's the boring, low-in-sound-high-in-noise nature of the threadjacks.
I kinid of think the ppuns are less of an annoyanceince I like them and can participate sometimes, whereas the flirting is gross, gets old, and fills me with rage.
And then I move on.
No one can be expected to maintain a high quality signal all the time. When I think I have some good things to say, I am quick to say them. Since I have been here Apple Talk has always been this way, so as far as I can see it's not going to change anytime soon.
I'm annoyed by annoyance and buoyed by buoyancy!
I am feeling contrary today. Suppose I should just log-off, but then who could I annoy?
That's ok. Everything I say is badwrong. So I guess I just lose anyway. :lulz:

Let's start a thread about being butthurt in the thread that was started because another thread caused butthurt.
Sorry, I'm too butthurt. I came here looking for butthurt, and lo! I found it. My arse is black and blue, and my rectum is now located somewhere in my chest cavity.
So I fucking WIN, given what the conditions for victory are around here, nowdays.
Where the FUCK is ECH, now that we finally need him? He's fucking off, out on his ship. This hurts my butt, and I can't find my big boy pance.
I'd like to describe how hard I'm praying for a 10 Km nickel-iron asteroid to plough into the planet right now, but I lack the words.
Nah, I'm in Portland enjoying my 5 weeks off, and spending most of it in real life. You kids will just have to work this out amongst yourselves.

puns have gotten out of hand? :lol:

I AM BUTTHURT ABOUT ALL THE FUCKING BUTTHURT ON THIS BOARD.
PARDON ME, I'M GOING TO WANDER INTO ANOTHER THREAD AND LOOK FOR A REASON TO BE OFFENDED. LOUDLY.
Christ on a fucking barstool, how I hate you all. I hate you with the power of 10,000 suns. You should know better, you should be able to debate rationally, yet this board has MORE PEOPLE WALKING AROUND IN SEARCH OF A BRUISED TESTICLE THAN ANY OTHER BOARD I'VE EVER SEEN, INCLUDING MW AND TCC.
If ANY of you loved me, you'd jump under a bus right fucking now.
:mittens:
hey at least, the oak tree thread is no longer jacked by pun-runs and the complainings about them and the butthurt about the complainings. giving rise to the opportunity for a pretty cool thread about modern art :)

Quote from: Nigel on January 11, 2011, 12:15:40 AM
Here's the thing: Puns are not funny. And a bunch of puns in a row are not clever.
They are the domain of average-intelligence gamer geeks who obsessively watch Monty Python and think that makes them geniuses. Have you ever been in a room with those people? Do it once, and you will never think puns are funny again.
Puns are extra unfunny when they are placed in threads with real content. My current policy is, once the punning starts in a thread I was interested in, I'm done with that thread. It's over. The way things are going, this whole board is THIS close to being as much of an inane circlejerk of mediocrity as The Cellar, because a bunch of people, some newbs and some not, have started seeing EVERY FUCKING OPENING as a glorious golden opportunity to show off how clever they think they are by stringing completely lame puns off each other.
If it actually keeps going that way and everybody keeps making excuses for why it's OK, I would be perfectly happy to institute a zero-tolerance hateshitting policy that will fuck up every single fucking thread of everyone who drops a single one of those retard shitbombs in any thread, ever, except for RWHN who gets a special pass by virtue of that being his identity and actually putting effort into it.
And, pardon the brief moment of arrogance, I'm pretty fucking good at it. And puns ARE funny and they ARE NOT the domain of "average-intelligence". In my social circles, puns were bandied about amongst my other musician friends. Folks who are actually pretty damned intelligent. It certainly can be turned into low-rent humor, but you can say that about any kind of comedy, entertainment, or amusement.
But thanks for giving me a "special pass".
I know you enjoy your puns, and you do actually put, you know, energy into them. I appreciate things that people put real effort into, even if I still think they're horrible, like U2 for example, or that one hilarious black lady who sings "O Canada".

How about you say to yourself "I am an intelligent, interesting person. Does what I am about to post contribute to or at least show appreciation for this thread, or is it vapid drivel more appropriately placed at TCC?" and we all take it from there.
I don't know about everyone else, but the reason I like this board is because when I arrived it was full of intelligent, interesting conversation. Seeing those conversations derailed with inanity is worse than the flame wars that occasionally erupt, in my opinion. Flame wars can be fun. Vapid inanity is only fun for the vapidly inane.
And then RWHN was an hilarious Black woman.
