Word puns is the lowest form of comedy

r/

I used to love word puns but now I think they are terrible. I’m not talking about some good ones (eg white boards are remarkable) but even these feel low effort and not especially funny. I would prefer to hear a long or short joke with actual thought behind it. Like the norm mcdonald moth joke is better than any existing word pun. The only instance when they are good is when they are said in context in movies, or real life, etc OR if they are dad jokes
