I know a lot of you love your cheesy puns so I'm recommending a DVD:
Tim Vine-Live
This guy can actually make puns funny. Which is no mean feat.
You'll recognise some of his jokes as they where nicked then credited to Tommy Cooper. It's a refreshingly different act.

George

May you tell us a little bit for of the content of the DVD?

Yeah! Don't tease us like holding a steak in front of a dogs nose. Let's hear some of them puppies!

Let's not and say we did and let's just buy the DVD so we can hear the jokes being done the proper timing and justice. How does that sound magicgeorge?

I feel many of us have a great sense of natural timing, and could take these and do them justice. I'd really like to hear some of them.

Just in time for Pun at Work day.

Hahaha, I really don't think many people have a "natural" sense of timing... somebody should start doing some stand up comedy research..

Puns are the lowest form of wit.

They are 'clever' without actually being particularly funny. They require a comic of great talent to make them work.

Too many magicians fall back on strings of puns these days.

I disagree with puns not being particularly funny. The problem is that most folks don't tell good puns, or they tell a ten minute story with a so-so pun at the end and it just isn't worth it. But a good pun is as funny as any other joke. I make people laugh with them every time I do a show, and I get pretty good laughs. But I also picked them very carefully.

I just did a search and can't seem to find the DVD to read more about it...anyone have a link?

Puns are the highest form of humor (when I tell them).

Timing is important. Try telling puns around 2:00 in the morning to a bunch of drunk college students. Great audience. Timing is everything.

The lowest form of humor is sarcasm. Or any type of chasm in a joke. Just gets me down.

"Use a pun, go to prison!"

Puns don't kill people. It's my act that kills people. Sometimes my act just dies.

A pun is much like a scalpel: In the hand of a surgeon it's a useful tool. In the hand of a child it's a bloody mess.

My puns get to be so bad that I was once wanted by the law for assault with a deadly punchline.

Your mom was wanted by the law...... hehehe

LOL She's been dead for 25 years. What was so bad that she did?
