I like Jacques Derrida; I think he's funny. I like my philosophy with a few jokes and puns. I know that that offends other philosophers; they think he's not taking things seriously, but he comes up with some marvellous puns. Why shouldn't you have a bit of fun while dealing with the deepest issues of the mind?
Alan Moore
I grew up in an environment of jokes and sarcasm and puns. I talk that way, so I write that way.
Allan Sloan
I'm the champ that puns the camp! That's what I always wanted. I wanted to be seen as a main eventer, and it's a lot of responsibility now. I feel like I'm gonna deliver on this opportunity. I want to take it and make sure everybody knows that this is why I'm the champ.
Becky Lynch
I'm shameless, and I love a pun. There's a lot of Beth puns.
Beth Ditto
I'd like my super power to be puns; I'd like to be great at puns: pun power. Then I could go on loads of panel shows and live off that forever.
Chris O'Dowd
'The Sopranos' is filled with really retrograde humor. Bathroom humor, falls, stupid puns, bad jokes - infantile, adolescent stuff, but it makes me laugh.
David Chase
I'm a terrible punster. And I love to rhyme. I just can't help myself.
Duane Michals
Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them.
Edgar Allan Poe
I live and die by puns.
Feist
Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted.
Fred Allen
I love making puns.
Fred Gwynne
Americans don't like puns and plays on words, which is totally opposite in the comedy world to France or even Italy and Germany.
Gad Elmaleh
I grew up on EC comic books and 'Tales From the Crypt,' which were all loaded with humor, bad jokes, and puns. I can have that kind of fun and make these comic book movies but, at the same time, talk about things I want to talk about - whether it's consumerism or the Bush administration or war.
George A. Romero
Coincidences are spiritual puns.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Puns are a form of humor with words.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante
I say 'as it were' or 'so to speak' too often because puns and double entendres keep insinuating themselves into my consciousness as I'm talking.
Guy Gavriel Kay
Words played an important part in my growing up. Not only the written word... but words that flew through the air: jokes, riddles, puns.
James Howe
Fozzie Bear has so many bear puns in this script - like, 'Trac is grizzly!' 'This is unbearable!' It's the greatest.
Jason Segel
I love puns and plays on words, which is why I love RuPaul so much.
Jinkx Monsoon
Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
John Lasseter
I think puns are not just the lowest form of wit, but the lowest form of human behavior.
The moment I accept that there's an artistic, redeeming quality in puns, I have a horrible feeling I'll get hooked.
I like really bad puns - proper, red-top, nasty puns - I find them funny.
Metaphors, similes, puns - all manner of metonymy - I'm interested in language that cannot be parsed by a machine - language that can only be understood through acculturation.
I love puns. I've been known to turn the car around just to take advantage of a good pun situation. It really is the highest form of humor.
My being a writer and playing Scrabble are connected. If I have a good writing day, I'll take a break and play online Scrabble. My favorite word as a child was 'carrion,' before I knew what it meant. I later created crossword puzzles, which was a lot about puns, and how words would create these strange, strange things.
I'm very competitive about puns.
I think the humor of double puns is incredible.
I'm probably doing puns more than anything in my life.
In Hebrew, the name Susan means 'graceful lily' - in Khmer, it means 'girl with the bad puns,' and in ancient Aztec, it translates as 'she with the cockerel hair and dirty glasses.'
I do not, in fact, use many puns. Certainly there are far fewer than people believe. But I suspect the ones I do occasionally use tend to hang around in people's memories for a while.
From as long as, literally as far back as I can remember I've liked puns, word jokes, I can literally recall looking at a comic at the age of six or seven and I remember what I enjoyed and what it was precisely and how the joke worked.
Puns are the droppings of soaring wits.
