Puns.

Post Reply New Topic

I have a long-term pun obsession. My kids call it 'dad humour' and consider it normal, but it obviously isn't!

Is this a common thing with Aspergers?

I absolutely LOVE puns.

Every aspie absolutely LOVES something. Be it puns, legos, video games, reading. You name it. Yours is puns. Have fun with it.
Aspies all have an obsession of some kind. It's part of aspieness.

i would think puns are supposed to be one of those things we're not supposed to get, and some may not. but i love puns and catch on to them pretty good as long as they're not too abstract.

haha yes, I always laugh at them even if they are REALLY dumb. I know a few related to geology (my profession) and pokemon (my favorite video game).

Geology Rocks! also, because I rock back and forth as a stim, Autistics Rock!

Earthquakes aren't gneiss, but they're no one's fault (gneiss is a metamorphic rock)

Be Gneiss Ore Albite ya! (Albite=a mineral)

Life is tuff, take nothing for granite. (tuff is a volcanic rock)

Don't worry about that piece of schist (a metamorphic rock)

I get into puns. Moreso that i usually get a pun definition of what someone is saying then i have to think of the intended meaning of what they are trying to say.

I've always loved puns. There was a time when I was playing in a band, and I would make puns about everything, even by accident! I could never understand why they first laughed and then got mad, saying my jokes were too dry.

From what I posted on the musical jokes thread:

A buddy of mine is an organist (he just finished his doctoral studies on that instrument at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. These are his worst puns)

Think positif!

Oh, great!

That's just Swell!

I always liked puns too (even if they are really lame. ) Whenever I'm watching a movie or something, my dad and I always come up with a bunch of punny alternate titles for it before we start watching.

I like puns but I like other kinds of word play better, like rhyme and alliteration. My dad loves puns and makes them all the time.

I've read that a love of wordplay is common in Asperger's, but I'm not sure about other forms of autism.

I definitely love puns.

I have always loved word play. James Bond does them all the time.

I like to do puns. maybe a little too much. When someone comments about my puns. I say, what's the matter, can't take the "punishment".
