Some puns are funny but the ones about unemployment don’t work >

This pun is so meta—I’ve never seen a pun about puns 😂😂 >

It really depends on the delivery. Just pointing out a pun is lame, but when you don't expect them from someone they can be pretty funny. >

I agree! delivery can definitely elevate the status of a pun—but I guess, for me at least, even a highly elevated pun is clever, enjoyable, but rarely funny! >

Puns are hilarious when you think of them in the moment, but not so much when you are quoting something you saw online >

For me, puns are more funny when you miss them in the moment, and then two hours later you're "like oh shit lmao!" >

I like puns. Some are really funny to me, some are just "quirky"

Reading through a few Reddit comment sections will be enough to make you hate them. Not everything needs to be an overused joke, Reddit! >

I don’t want to be friends with someone that finds all puns unfunny. Here’s an upvote though. >

I know, I’m working on it haha, maybe someday I’ll come around. 😂 >

I don't think they're that funny either, but watching my husband die inside every time I tell him one is really what I live for. >

I appreciate an occasional clever pun. But most are juvenile and overused. Those aren't funny. Also, time & place. Don't use puns in normal conversation. Just don't. >

Define "witty" for me. >

I take a witty to refer to a remark that is both intelligent and playful. >

Okay.  Do you know the definition of the word? >

Yes, although I’m trying to use it in another sense. If you know of a word that means playful, intelligent, pleasant, but not funny, I’m happy to rephrase. Witty seemed close to me, I want to use it in the sense of something that is verging on humor, but not quite there. 
I know that I am playing off the words connotations rather than employing its precise semantic value. >
