Pun Watch: The News Pun Quiz Game
86 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 18 ratingsDo you like puns? Do you particularity enjoy punny headlines in newspapers? Would you like to hear masses of them recited in quick succession? If so, you’ll probably enjoy Punwatch.
Punwatch is a game show in which 3 or 4 funny people try to guess the correct pun-ish headline attached to various news stories from the week. Some of the puns are brilliant, some of them awful, and some are such tenuous stretches they’d make Lilia Stepanova wince (look her up).
Either way, there’s lots of ‘em. Even if you don’t like puns, give Punwatch a go: You’d be surprised how much better puns about an accidentally eaten French camel get when you hear 40 in a row.
