Jesus H!
Dear BBC

Why o why, in an otherwise enjoyable QOTW, am I frequently dissapointed to learn that the post I've just read has been a long winded set up for a pun, a bad pun. A. Shite. Pun. For fucks sake. I mean, fuck! Fuck Fuck Fuck. Stop it.

Dear Major Cheeses
I avoid this disappointment by having a quick squizz at the last line of every big post before I bother to read it. If it's a shitey pun, then I just bash my head off my keyboard and then move onto the next post.

Hope this helps.

pointless puns
Top tip. Try reading qotw posts from bottom to top, that way when you've finished reading one and are scrolling up to the next, you can sneak a look at the last line and see if it's a shit pun.

Also, liberal use of the "ignore" link makes them stop.

I can't help but feel partly responsible for this...

And I humbly apologise.

Little did I know that my odd feeble attempts would gestate into the foul wretchedness spreading through the QotW.

Still, some of them are quite funny...:)

Pooflake
Simple - stick the pun in the first line, and we'll not find it until we start reading properly. ;-)

...we've not had any "Customers from Shell" puns yet, not that I've seen anyway.

They are terrible
that's why I did a really really bad one a few posts back. I do hope it hasn't tipped anyone over the edge...

Ah, I had mine straight away too...

But I feared the flaming of the 'too early for a crap pun' brigade, and so waited for a few days...

kudos to your bravery spikeypickle!

I agree
that is all.

I also go mine in early
before everyone gets pissed off on Wednespunday

Well, I thought it was funny

I, too, hate the shitty fucking puns
they have never really been funny, and grow increasingly annoying

In my defence M'lud
I only started this week, I do at least apologise, and I personally blame Pooflake.

(A big boy did it and ran away defence, as it's known)

And at least one was true. Mostly.

I like the clever ones
I agree that there's been rather a lot this week though, and they are starting to grate a little.

Still, ultimately no big deal, right?

puns
FUCK OFF!!! They're about as funny as prostate cancer.

So... is the term
'Wednespunsday' not going to be accepted into everyday (or at least Wednesday) use? D'oh.

As funny as prostate cancer?
Oh thanks. I've just seen a close friend die of cancer. And no, a few crap puns ain't quite the same thing. Feel free to use the ignore button. In fact, please use the ignore button. Because, having a wee looky, Pooflake and his fellow punners have more humour in their discarded tissues than you have in your entire worthless carcass.

Now please die in a house fire you juvenile waste of oxygen.

Easy now.
Each to their own. Can't please all the people, and all that.

As has been pointed out, the "ignore" button exists for this very contingency.

Personally I like the puns. I appreciate the effort that goes into them. I believe creativity should not be surpressed. And I'm jealous coz I can never think of any...

I gotta say
The puns with a huge convoluted setup are good. But there are 10 bad puns for each good one. The bartender from mos eisley tale was damned good too
